Power of Forgiveness

There is power in forgiveness. A person who knows how to forgive his brethren is the one who knows how much power is released once he forgives. Life is full of troubles. Many times we tend to be trouble makers even to the people who are closer to us. Jesus made this clear when He says in the book of Mathew 10: 36 that “and a man’s enemies will be those of his own household”. In most cases a person who can hurt you is the same person you always share the same bed, you dine together, and you share the same plate and bread. You may not expect to receive any kind of opposition from the person who is next to you. But it has been proven in many cases that the person who can wage a very successful resistance and sometimes even pose a rebellion against you is a very closer person to you.
Happiness is something given by nature. One cannot be happy if there are troubles in his heart. Happiness dwells in the inner part of a man’s soul. Basically there are different kinds of happiness. There is happiness which comes in and goes out forever but there is also the happiness which comes in and stays forever. In the actual reality the world normally provides the former happiness but Jesus Christ the son of the Living God always provides the later happiness. When someone is in Jesus he experiences this part of the beautiful happiness. In the book of Mathew Jesus clearly articulate to his disciples that there is inner sense of his happiness once one decides to tie himself in the yoke of Jesus.
Jesus declares in Mathew 11:29 “take my yoke upon you and learns from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls”. The word “rest” as used in the New King James version is also described from Oxford advance leaner’s dictionary as “condition of being free from disturbance”.  Once one forgives the power released normally frees people from disturbance. The disturbance referred here is the one experienced when one denies forgiving from his heart.
Today many families suffer because there is no happiness from among or within the family members. Many relationships ended in vain due to lack of inner happiness. Friends have been hostiles due to lack of inner happiness. Happiness can only come when one decides to forgive and forget from his heart. Why should we not remember the trespasses of those who trespass against us? The bible gives us the evidence on how God forgives and forget about our trespasses. The book of Psalms 103:12 proclaims that “as far as east is from the west, so far he removed our transgression from us”. You may now get enlightened on how forgiveness ought to be! The wounded heart never forgives and forgets. To heal the wounded heart, you will have to take as far as east is from the west so far you remove the “angry” from your heart and frees yourself from lack of happiness.
You will know the truth and the truth will set you free.  When you decide to forgive today, you will open the blocked doors of your heavenly blessings. The power of forgiveness has to walk within you all the time. You cannot experience the beauty of neither your presence nor your neighbours into this world if you do not forgive your friend. The power of forgiveness will give you a next alternative to your unsolved problems. Remember it took the life of Jesus to offer us the forgives of the grace we enjoy today. Jesus came to forgive our sins. It was not a simple process. He was bruised for our iniquities.  He went on the cross and paid all the debts we bear for our transgression. What a great love Jesus had for you and me? Do you show the same kind of love to all those who trespassed against you? Learn to forgive and forget. The power of forgives will start to work in you amazingly. Start to forgive today and you will see that Power walking all around your life circles.
