Forgiveness is Healthy

• Moving toward living a life of peace and away from negative feelings so you can heal and grow.

Make a commitment today to forgive that individual that you have harbored negative feelings, anger or bitterness toward. Biblically speaking, we should forgive others as many times as we are wronged. Yes, that seems difficult! Especially when something happens to you as a child for which you had no control, or even if you've been wronged, betrayed, hurt or left behind as an adult from someone you trusted.
No matter the situation, you must believe that you have the strength in you to overcome this deep painful negative feeling that weighs heavily on your heart, mind and soul. Let. It. Go. For you. For your health. For your better life that is waiting for you to take hold of.
