THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS

The ability to forgive is one attribute we must imbibe in order to have meaningful relationships in every aspect of life- family,marriage,career,dating,friendships.
If we are sincere, we would realize that so many failed relationships,businesses or even career can be trace to our inability to forgive our offenders.Some people are in the habit of bearing grudges,keeping malice at any slight provocation.At times they allow few minutes misunderstanding to spoil a relationship they have built over time.
Some people cannot forgive because of their excessive pride, they rather wait for an elaborate apology from those that wronged them before contemplating forgiveness.This is very wrong, because forgiveness should be apart of our life, it should be given to all,whether they deserve it or not
REASONS WHY FORGIVENESS IS POWERFUL;
1,Forgiveness brings peace to everyone involve, especially you who has been magnanimous to forgive.
2,It project you better in the eyes of others.It is not a sign of weakness,rather it shows maturity and dignity
3,It enables God to forgive you, and release you delayed blessings
4,Finally, when you forgive others, people find it easier to forgive you when you offend them,remember no human being is perfect you are bound to offend others occasionally too.
Therefore learn to forgive no matter the situation.Unforgiving spirit is a burden you must cast away. Be at peace with yourself and your fellow human beings. FORGIVE!
FORGIVE!
