Forgiveness
is a conscious release of positive emotions that neutralize the negative ones
and causes a person to experience spiritual and psychological relief. It heals emotional pains and offers a
considerable degree of general social well-being.
As
a spiritual being you are inclined to experience a discomfort when you do not
forgive others. Let me explain: Your Creator
is Love and you come out of Him. Unlike other living things that were created
with the word from His mouth, you were created with His hands from the soil and
He gave you His breath and you became a living being. You are part of Him and you cannot function
effectively outside love. This is why God had to forgive you in order to
maintain this co-existence. It is this distinct degree of attention to your
make-up that makes you to be a loving being with an authority over other
inhabitants of the earth. Mankind is therefore
the physical revelation of God and could only be well when is aligned to His
nature.
Look
around and notice how mankind reacts to social injustice! Why is it that we
have some degree of respect for others even in the most uncultured
societies? Why would somebody who has
provided for his family care about others in far places and feels obliged to
share his wealth? It is because love is ingrained in us and is a core of our
being and livelihood. Let me highlight spiritual and social issues caused by
not forgiving others:
1.
Spiritual chains:
If you do not forgive you will lose your anointing; the delegated spiritual
power that is intended to minister to others to attain acceptable and sustainable
spiritual health. Your realization of the lack of wellness starts within you
because you are a spirit being which normally compels you to seek help from the
Creator who is Higher source of life for all creation. For an unbeliever this
need is likely to cause one to find and participate in less desirable forms of
spiritual activities. Such state would
manifest in crime and general inhuman behavior which the social justice systems
deal with by keeping the perpetrators in prisons or rehabilitation centers.
2.
Social chains:
A person who is not able to forgive others is neither likable nor lovable and
experience challenges in relationships. Consider this: Life is about
relationships! For an example, if your parents spoke blasphemous words over you
because you did something they consider socially bad, they have cursed you!
Words are powerful and parents must be aware of this fact and chose their words
when they reprimand their children. Consequently,
if you do not forgive those who cursed you, you remain in bondage too. Why is this important? It is because it
violates the principle of love; which says love does not keep record of wrongs
and does not delight in negative emotions.
The
Creator demands that we bear with one another because practically nobody is
immune to offending others even those confessed to be loved. When you decide to take control of your life,
you must let go of the wrongs and forgive unconditionally. Only then can you
really start over a new chapter of your life – free to experience the joy of aligning
with your Creator!
