4:45 AM
1.
BE SINCERE
Talk to the person who offended you.
Forgive them for being human. Consider their situation. People might offend you
because they are learning and growing.
2. EXPRESS YOUR FEELINGS
You
might feel sad, angry, resentful or betrayed – express them. Otherwise, they
will erupt in another place at the wrong time.
3. FORGIVE HEARTILY
Don’t
expect an apology or restitution. Have peace of mind. Offer forgiveness even if
the person who offended you won’t forgive you in return. Pray for that person
instead; don’t let your life being shaped by someone else’s action.
4. DO IT YOURSELF
Forgiveness
is something you can do for yourself not for someone else. Remember, life is an
echo, what you send out- comes back; what you saw - you reap, and what you give
- you get.
5. FORGIVE YOURSELF
Forgive
yourself on what you regret doing and for what you wish you had done. By doing
so, it will cleanse your soul from shame and guilt. Remember, you can’t change
someone for better by holding grudge on yourself.
6. HAVE FREEDOM, DON’T HURT YOURSELF
Holding
on to resentment keep you jailed as a victim. Don’t let the sad experience
linger on your mind. Take the same as an opportunity to learn and grow.
Otherwise, you are at the mercy of the offender.
7. MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE
Forgiveness
is possible even in the worst circumstances – have mercy on your offender. You
have the right to be happy. The healing choice is yours to make. You have the
power to choose between getting better or bitter.
8. UNDERSTANDS LIFE’S IMPERFECTION
Life
is never perfect and often unfair. We have unique purpose in this planet.
Accept life’s inevitable failures. If you find it difficult to forgive,
consider that they may be shaped by imperfect community or parenting.
9. STRENGTHEN YOUR RELATIONSHIP
Loving
relationship is not free from hurts. Strengthen the love in your relationship
with forgiveness. Forgiveness opens the door to reconciliation.
10. BE FIRM LIKE A BAMBOO TREE
Bend
without breaking, be strong enough to withstand the heavy weight of injury but
resilient enough to recover.
11. PAY IT FORWARD
Recall
a moment in your life when you were asking for forgiveness and you were
forgiven. Give the person who offended you on what you had received in the past
– forgiveness. Remember, forgiveness takes courage and determination.
12. PRACTICE FORGIVENESS
Start
forgiving in small errands or hurts. Remember MILO’s slogan “Great things
starts from small beginnings.” It may seem useless when you receive no
immediate result but give forgiveness enough time.
13. TIME HEALS EVERYTHING
Ask yourself this question,
“Will this matter a
year from now?”
“Is this situation
really as important as I’m making it out to be?”
Rather than using up your energy
feeling angry, sad or resentful, use it instead on important and more
productive one.
