The Gift Of Forgiveness

Our relationships are all based on our needs. We need so much and not one single person can give it to us.

So we pick up a friend here there and everywhere. Some of us have a multitude of people that we have a relationship with.

Others just have a few. Different people give us different things. We look for qualities in others,  in order to complete who we believe we are.

 With all those different relationships, we sometimes are confronted with conflicts. Why? Is it because maybe someone brought out the worse in us? Is it because we battle with the very thing that attracted us to that particular relationship? We all have issues and we tend to look and lean on those that say "I love you", "Your like a son to me", "Your like a brother to me", "Your like a sister, mother, father and or grandparent to me". What happens to the heart that now feels he or she, isn’t that "Title"? We are all challenged to honor all those we hold closest to our heart. What happens to the arrogant heart that believes that he or she is right? Is there a trophy for winning at the expense of someone else? Is it okay to wound a heart simply because there was a mutual exchange of choice words. When is forgiveness  a good choice? This simple note is "thought provoking" for anyone who is faced with these questions and challenges, lets take a moment of reflection and intentionally  seek for peace. A sincere apology for a transgression can open communications to a relationship that means so much to your soul. To forgive is a gift we give to ourselves.
