My goal of forgiving others.
Time to move the slider. : ) For so long I have soul searched, asked God, read books and more to learn exactly how to go about forgiving the big offenses. I have known since my early youth it is good to forgive and it will set me free from the chains of bitterness. No problem desiring to do this and I believe it is the right thing to do because Christ told us to forgive one another. My problem was "how".
Last week, I had a most interesting experience. I was walking around praying outloud and suddenly I put my hands in the air and said, "OK, I forgive them all right now, I am just letting go, letting it all go, I don't want this with me anymore, they are forgiven Lord". I repeated the same idea over and over with eyes closed and arms outstretched to the heavens. I had one of those rare spiritual moments. I felt light and I felt joy from within. Oh what a moment. Beautiful.
Therefore my progress slider is moved from 20% to 40%!

Good for you! I am inspired by your progress on this issue. I have someone I need to forgive but it is not easy as he continues to act negatively. I need to just forgive and let it go.
Wonderful! You are setting yourself free from the chains that bind you to negative past events and to people who sinned against you. You are doing this for you. I am so happy to see the green face!
GOTTA LOVE THOSE EPIPHANIES!
HAPPY FOR THE \"HOPEFILLED AWARENESS\" YOU HAD SHERBEAR!
Thanks for your comments. It is difficult sometimes but is so freeing and yes Ms. Vicki Hope it was a hopefilled awareness too. : )
Thanks for sharing your moments of inspiration. They are so precious and rare~
That was so wonderful! I\'ve had moments like that, when I\'m praying over a rough situation, or need an answer, and suddenly the clouds just part and I know what I have to do and am able to do it. Don\'t you feel so much better! Sue
I went through years of trying to figure out how to forgive, after a toll on my body and mind from years of abuse I had to find a stopping point somewhere, I still have demons now and then but I am trying to let things go too. Good for you that are able to forgive, and put the past away. For me the past has many doors that keep wanting to open, I am so happy for you that you could feel the spiritual moment.
