How to be inspired to Forgive
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?

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 bulletin points and this week, I will just briefly address each one. But, before I begin I want to say that I've been angry for some months and a rainbow pierce through the sky through to my heart and the mechanisms of my soul began to turn. A new wave swept me out of those muddy waters to ashore and called me to tell everybody about forgiveness.
I see my passions before me which is writing and how important it is to minister towards a better future for humanity. I am in a good place and my heart see a secret passage towards the kingdom of God. But most important, I see you and a world that wants to survive.
Have you every played Mario brothers? No comments you Play Station Groupies, but you know it about competing and winning all the levels of the game. That is exactly how forgiveness works, it's a lot of levels, but no one had dare to embark on this journey, because truthfully it's not a game and we are in real time. Imagine what it would be like if we could complete a level and advance to another sphere of our soul through forgiveness.

The door that Mario finds to save the princess, well I found the one word that would save us by opening new doors to a brighter future and that word is "forgiveness". It changes the scenery and the faces that at times may look obscure, but then redefine the image on how God is visioning the outcome.

Forgiveness is both a process and a choice, and may be both intrapersonal and interpersonal. It is a complex and enigmatic concept, hard to pin down because it can apply in different ways to different situations; not everyone experiences it in the same manner. For some, it may result in reducing a personal hurt that makes life easier; for others, it may mean reconciling with an enemy and being able to live side by side again.
Forgiveness is a process and a choice. I have to tell you, forgiveness was never my choice, but when the word dance around my soul, I accept the process. Sometimes, we just don't know why we need to forgive or be forgiven. Our emotional alarm only goes off when we are hurting, angry and more than likely want revenge. However, sometimes there is the silence that builds up emotion and pain that another person don't realize the suffering, they made have cause. We just don't want to talk about it, we assume that everything is okay and we walk away, unaware that we just drop a bomb in someone else lap, BOOM!

Forgiveness is not about admitting to being wrong, but starting fresh and giving both parties the freedom to move on and hopefully one day, restore the breakup to a healthy life balance and safe place, for everyone to enjoy. Yes, usually when it gets to this level, the accomplice and the bystanders or at odds with one another and the tension builds a war zone, that can last a life time.
I am going to stop here, because this is a big topic that needs to be address at a slower pace. But in the meantime, begin your own steps towards forgiveness, add the word to your vocabulary (laugh out loud) and let the healing begin to enter into your soul.
