Setting ourselves free!

First, we have to face the notion that in order to consider forgiving someone we must have been blaming them for something. We must have anger, resentment, blame, even hatred going on in order to feel the need to forgive. Forgiveness is really an act of letting go, releasing the anger, the hatred, the bitterness, the thoughts of revenge that we have been carrying around. We can do this letting go without even encountering the person we want to forgive. We forgive by releasing all resentment, anger, and bitterness and thus set ourselves free from the negative feelings that weaken us. First we have to get past blame. Then we have to learn to send love to all." 

"Forgiveness is the most powerful thing that you can do for your physiology and your spirituality, and it remains one of the least attractive things to us, largely because our egos rule so unequivocally. To forgive is somehow associated with saying that it is all right, that we accept the evil deed. But this is not forgiveness. Forgiveness means that you fill yourself with love and you radiate that love outward and refuse to hang onto the venom or hatred that was engendered by the behaviors that caused the wounds. Forgiveness is a spiritual act of love for yourself and it sends a message to everyone, including yourself, that you are an object of love and that that is what you are going to impart."

COLD

A four letter word that has lingered my mind for the past one month.

Have tried all I can to push it away, but in mind it became a growth.

It interfered with my normal routine and a hazard to my health.

Had to look for a remedy but my mind was filled with filth.

It’s hard to play apart in your life that really doesn’t define who you really are inside,

Putting a picture that projects a different view of things is to subside.

Indeed being cold inside and trying to beat the extra mile in being warm outside

Difficult, but it’s like changing a word to mean the same like saccharide.

That’s another name meaning sweet, but that’s passive

When cold you lack affection, warmth, feeling, you become unemotional calculating and repulsive,

Positive becomes negative, with time the situation becomes corrosive,

And you long for a palliative.

That’s a remedy in search of warmth, but to me it was an exploration

Since the feeling was kinda new, it was like some kind of a tour to the nation

Meeting all kinds of people around, and portraying a negative action

That was my obligation and I did it without hesitation

The affirmation of your weakness sickens your meekness

Soon all your liveliness is turned to deep sadness

And everything around you becomes some sort of a wilderness

Wretchedness, dolefulness are a result and you start to long for kindness

Something that is way beyond your control at this stage

The more the days go by the more you become flat with age

Unemotional to every feeling brought out adding points to your mileage

At this stage only a miracle can bring you back, coz your at wreckage

Every part of your body is against you, and you feel like you’re at war

Bed rest is what the doctor offered, but it didn’t work coz u owe

You owe your inner spirit peace, but you can’t attain it coz of what you wore

You wore a negative suit, that led to your illness, thus the COLD won

I started thinking of a remedy, and started listening to the wrong voices

My life at this juncture was useless, and that is as what my determinant says

I had no control of my life, my life was driven and it was at ace

Having a cold is the worst feeling a person can endure, I said that with a sigh

Why should I continue to suffer? Is it worth it really?

Death was the only option, at this stage, coz everybody thought I was rascally

I never gave myself options for a cure, I just wanted to end it, desperately

So I over dozed that night, and took a nap, the pain eased greatly

All this time, all the things I did, everyone I knew, reflected in my mind

It felt like a new beginning and I actually thought it was the end

I started to remember my childhood times, how we used to hold hands

Love we had for each other, the joy, the happiness and I couldn’t allow all this to end

At this moment, when everything was coming to an end, he held my hand

He showed me peace, he taught me love, he gave me faith and a new beginning

I held his hand tightly, I didn’t want to let go, coz this feeling is what have been longing

 I wanted to know more about him, so the bible became my everyday building

It gave a strong foundation, and no one could break since the bond was sealed

Cold, it became a four letter word, that I only heard about, but never to experience it

I grabbed on to what was ahead and not what was on the review

It became a past, that I remember with great joy, coz it became a testimony

A testimony, A Test that I once mourned about, but now am in harmony

Forgiveness

The only way to learn forgiveness is to be betrayed, hurt, stepped on, abused to mention but a few. You might understand the intellectual concept of forgiveness, but you will only learn how to truly forgive, when someone has done something that requires you to love them and let it go. "Experience is the best teacher they say" and well i concur with them. Some people tend to say it's hard to actually forgive someone who has deeply hurt you, well it is, when you think about it, but nothing in this life is easy, besides the struggle of forgiveness is the hardest but once concurred its the sweetest. Our judgments of how we think our life should be is preventing us from reaching our highest potential. In this case you have to be the bigger person in everything you do, if you want to move on and lead a happy life. Never let other people go first. Life demands these hurtful experiences for you to learn how forgiveness feels, it could be no other way.  If there is anyone in your life that you must forgive, instead of seeing them as someone who has hurt you, try to see them as someone who was sent to teach you forgiveness and thank them for this precious gift - then forgive them, and let it go. Every desire you have at its core exists because you think attaining it will make you happy, see everything as a blessing and it will all add up :-)

Free!

Its strange when situations convince you that you got a green light but in the real sense you feel like you trapped inside a huge, big hole and there is no way out. The more the possibility of a way out ,the more it seems difficult to get loose. And the battle begins, “Has Earth anything to offer thee?” so many questions linger your mind and you wonder if you’ll ever get an answer to them all!!!!!

This is when the magic happens: right when you feel like everything is going wrong, shift your attitude to accept that it's actually going right. Our judgments of how we think our life should be are preventing us from reaching our Highest Potential. If you're going through a storm, hold the belief that it's the perfect storm for you to be going through and that you've been given everything you need to weather the storm. When the chaos subsides you will experience the Truth that is forever true; you are always taken care of, exactly where you need to be and your efforts are rewarded exactly when they need to be. Remember this Truth the next time a storm is on the horizon and you will grow wings and be able fly right over it and towards the calm waters of Trust and Love. Free at last!!!!!
