“Nothing erases the past. There is repentance, there is atonement, and there is forgiveness. That is all, but that is enough.”
-Ted Chiang, The Merchant and the Alchemist’s Gate

God is so good.
I have begun weight loss. My aunt and uncle wanted to send me a birthday gift. They looked online for something. They thought I would like this. They did not know at that time, I had begun on my weight loss journey but God did.
This is probably one of the most perfect gifts at this time that they could’ve sent. The nuts are good source of protein. The dried fruit in moderation is a very good source a fiber.
So you can’t tell me there’s not a God, because he guided their hand.
So thank you to my aunt and uncle for the most wonderful gift.
Hallelujah. God is an awesome God.

A No Contest Case–Already Decided
An unexpected courtroom lesson during Bible study reminded me just how complete Christ’s forgiveness really is.
It is always my pleasure to be on the learning side of a class. One of the blessings of our Sunday morning Bible study is having a wonderful co-teacher who shares the teaching responsibilities. I truly enjoy those mornings because they give me the opportunity to learn from someone…

You are beautiful, kid. ✨ Finally loving myself honestly and with intention. If I can love myself so purely, then I can love others the same.
I’m sorry I was so mean to myself for so long and deprived myself of ever having my needs met. This new chapter is learning to let myself be happy. Learning to be kind, gentle, and sensitive with myself and with others. I’m not just sorry to myself, I’m sorry to anyone I’ve ever hurt. 🕊️ I forgive, and I hope you can forgive too. Here’s to ending the pain and beautiful new chapters!

The Alchemy of Forgiveness: Beyond the Shame
The Mirror of Grace
I never want my own sins held against me for the rest of my life. Therefore, I don’t want to hold other people’s sins against them. Sure, healing takes time, and forgiveness doesn’t just suddenly make you forget the pain people caused. Forgiveness doesn’t automatically mean you fully trust a person without rebuilding it. You won’t always “feel” forgiveness as an instant emotion; it’s a belief you have to choose and convince yourself of.
Releasing the Anchor
Often, it’s only the shame you’re afraid to let go of because old pain feels less scary than new pain. Please be patient and kind with yourself. I know you beat yourself up because we all do it. We want to be “good enough,” and that requires faith and belief in oneself. Someone can tell you that you’re good enough, but unless you convince yourself of it, you’ll battle feelings of unworthiness.
The New Beginning
It’s okay. I spent years feeling so stupid and ugly. Only now do I understand I can ask for forgiveness, start over, and be happy again. What’s stopping me from being happy? Be gentle and sensitive with yourself, but daily practice affirming yourself. Please take life one day at a time.
The Beautiful Work in Progress
I don’t know everything. I’m learning every day, and my words are simply lessons I’m trying to understand to better myself. I don’t think I’m perfect, but I’m trying. And that’s enough.

Forgiveness and the Wrecking Ball
Forgiveness rarely feels gentle at first.
When I think about it, I do not picture peace. I picture a wrecking ball.
Actually, I picture something even more specific: a heavy boulder dragging behind a car, swinging wildly, smashing things left and right. That is what unforgiveness can feel like. Someone wounds us, and from that moment on, we are no longer carrying only the memory of what…

Psalm 51:2 Asked To Be Washed Of Sin
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. Psalm 51:2
Every person will do something wrong at some point or another in their life. When they do something wrong, sometimes they will get caught, while many times it appears that they get away with it and go free.
If no one directly says anything to a person, he feels that what he did was acceptable. There is no higher ruling…

Why Is Religion Insisting On Forgiveness No Matter What?
In this video, I am questioning why we are being bullied by religion to forgive…
As a dedicated seeker, I have been exploring the subject of reincarnation and the afterlife for many years. I do not claim to know it all, and the information I share in my videos is based on my personal experience and what I have gathered regarding this subject.

forgiveness to me IS forgetting though. To forgive someone means you will no longer hurt them or even spite them for whatever it is that they did. Nothing else truly matters. I don’t see why anyone would care about anything else

Why Jesus Feels Safer as a Symbol Than a Way of Life - Dualistic Unity
It’s easier to praise compassion than to extend it toward someone who hurt you. When forgiveness moves from idea to action, what resistance quietly appears?
