Forgiveness

 

Forgiveness - The action or process of forgiving or being forgiven; ready and willing to forgive; stop feeling angry or resentful toward (someone) for an offense, flaw, or mistake.


Forgiveness is not always an easy task for us to do; it involves willfully let go of feelings of resentment toward ourselves or someone who has committed a wrong, been deceitful, hurtful, or otherwise harmed us in some way. Over time if this resentment is not released it can create such a heaviness on our heart, mind, body, and soul that it can actually make us ill.

Holding on to resentment, whether it’s self-forgiveness or forgiving some else, takes our power from us; it keeps us imprisoned living in the past – Forgiveness sets us free!

Letting go of this burden doesn’t mean that we will forget how it felt, but it will release the burden we have been harbouring. Forgiveness comes from the heart; therefore, we don’t have to actually go to that person(s) and forgive them; we can forgive them in our heart.

When we forgive, we are releasing resentment, we are opening our hearts to receive love, peace, understanding, empathy, emotional healing, and compassion.

Forgiveness helps us to learn from the past without being stuck in the past, we come to realize that a forgiving heart empowers us to move forward with strength and confidence, it removes a heavy burden and enable us to live in the present, it enables us to enjoy all the amazing and wonderful moments happening right now, forgiveness frees us.

Is there anyone that you need to forgive? If there is, find a quiet place, set your intention, release the burden, set yourself free, and let the healing begin..

“Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:31-32

“If I have the gift of prophecy, knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth, bears all things, believes all things, endures all things. But now faith, hope, love abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13: 2, 4-7, & 13

 

Freedom Comes from within, not without...Life was meant to be abundant...in all areas.

There is always something to be Grateful for!

 

I wish you an amazing week filled with love, happiness, prosperity, kindness, and positivity.

 

With Gratitude,

Minister Leona Jo

Pride

  Self-Pride Pride Pride: is a human secondary emotion characterized by a sense of security with one's identity, performance, or accomplishments; a feeling that you respect yourself and deserve to be respected by other people self-respect     We take pride in our achievements and the achievement of others because we are proud of those achievements. Taking pride in ourselves and recognizing our own self-worth, personal qualities, and achievements can boost our self-esteem, can build our confidence, can make us more self-reliant, and can motivate us to take the steps needed to move forward toward our goals. There are benefits in taking pride in all that we do. Self-pride challenges us to step out of our comfort zone and take on difficult tasks, reflect on the tasks we have completed and how far we come, to be proud of the accomplishments we have made, and we are not too proud to work with others or get help from others . There is also danger in being too prideful...

What does Living a Disciplined Life Mean to You

  I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me Discipline is a very important personality trait in our life. It signifies a set of rules and regulations we set for ourselves to be followed while facing any task or activity. It is a way of being honest, faithful, inspired, and encouraged while doing any task. This is a person who has strong self-control, sticks to a consistent framework of rules and/or habits, and they have the inner strength to resist temptations even when it is difficult or feels unpleasant. A disciplined person has the ability to control impulses, maintain focus, and exhibit willpower, allowing them to live their life with purpose in pursuit of their goals.    Most of us are living some sort of disciplined life whether we are aware of it or not.

Addiction

"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." Matthew 7:7 Addiction   Addiction ( There are two main forms of addiction: substance use disorders and behavioral addictions ) - the fact or condition of being *addicted to a particular substance, thing, or activity; one strongly inclined to do, use, or indulge in something repeatedly   Almost everyone suffers from some form of addiction, something that seems to have more power or control over us than we would like it to. This could be food, sugar, alcohol, drugs, approval, cigarettes, money, power, anything, …     There is no one reason why a person becomes addicted to something, only they can answer that question. We don’t know their situation or what they have been through to get to where they are. We don’t know what triggers them – it could be a phone call, a text, something they hear, someone they see, something they smell, it could be anything.   For many tod...
