Forgiveness & Spiritual Healing/Devotions

How to move forward through Forgiveness? My last post, I slightly touched the tip of the iceberg of anger. Death and Police brutality was not my only anger issues; there is racism throughout all forms of life, may it be through immigration laws, economy, low income, housing, homeliness, abuse, trafficking and war. We all witness the bad that affect us all in relationship with the human condition, through social media, news and living in the heart of chaos. When does the madness stop and when is enough is enough? Southern Californians recently witness as some called, a missile, aliens or an explosion, that streak across the sky one evening. A simple act from an industry can cause a panic or havoc, that sets off a chain reaction from the vulnerable to the strongest of humanity. Only a small group of people actually knows what is going on and maybe, it's an inside joke or not enough communication transmitting through the proper channels, to forewarn us of these testings. But this ...

At the beginning of the biblical story of Genesis, we have a conflict. God ask Adam and Eve to do one thing, do not eat from the tree in the middle of the Garden. Of course, God did not forewarn them of the serpent and the beautiful red apple that was very pleasing to the eyes. The same holds true today, it's easy for God or parents to say "do not", with the understanding that they are preventing a chain reaction of circumstances in the future. Although, I still have this question as to why the red apple? why was this tree with this good looking fruit, planted smack in the middle of existence? Being at the end of 2017, that tree has grown to many trees of temptation that reads "do not" but we continue to disobey and that chain of reaction keeps growing into the wilderness.  Therefore, the one cure to slow down our own acts is forgiveness. Forgiving is very difficult and the more we soak in hate, fear and disappointment, we get to a point of not forgiving...

How can one be inspired to forgive someone or yourself? My immediately answer is allow yourself to be angry. This is about to start some debate, stop turning the cheek. Let's be honest here for a second,  I don't even have to quote the biblical verse. Jesus is slap by one of the Temple Guards, because he is engaged in a conversation with the High Priest and the Guard takes offense. He slaps Jesus and he turn his other cheek to the guard and responds, was I speaking the truth and if so, why did you hit me? https://youtu.be/uDVnX8SiRWA One hundred and ninety-nine percent, if we were slap, we would not be turning the cheek and begin a dialogue with the guard, a fight will break out and one thing will lead to another thing, that never comes to an end. Maybe, that is why we vision Jesus turning the other cheek, but in today's society we actually have an active ingredient called forgiveness. But how can we be inspired to forgive?  I am going to visit the community tool box...

Hello out there, A little about myself, a very confusing person and that is it in a nutshell. However, I am very caring and sometimes I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder, and this weight is not from my own issues. I had a dream some years back, that I was on a boat with some other people and then all of a sudden, hands were reaching at us from above. Now it was very dark and the water was even darker. I decided to grab one of the hands to pull whoever this person was out of the water. But what happen, I got pulled in below and find that the water was very muddy. As I grasp for breath, I was pulled out and was save, from whatever I was pulled in below the surface. This dream has always hunt me, because even in my sleep, I hear people calling out my actually name to save them. Strange, but very real and I always ponder on the meaning of this dream. As you have read my previous posts or just reading this one, I am on a forgiveness mantra and I am now learning a new phase o...

Forgiveness, what am I thinking????? Well, I want to be a world changer and this will be my platform. I have always contemplated on what is the one integer that would set the world on the right course of unconditional love. Is such a act possible or am I being delusional? I have incur these feelings for some years, that there is something out there in the universe that connect us all, just like connective tissue keep us together within our own being of life. Life is our Captain and we are all passengers of that vessel. It's important that we are live together in harmony and love by the tiniest fiber of ourselves.  I ran across a web page and I posted one of the videos from the community tool box on forgiveness. This is a beginning for me, because I have been so angry for the last few months about the condition of our world and we are way better than the crap that we dump into our environment. Well, it's time to clean house and we need to forgive ourselves and the people ...
