I Want to Make a Difference In the World
Forgive All and Say You Are Sorry......
Like you, I want to make a difference in this world. But I found that difference to be very different than saving the planet, recycling, or even keeping my noxious gas levels down. (though all of these issues are very important)
I found that the very best way to make a difference is Forgiving All Things no matter who is right or wrong. The world would fare much better if we would all remember that none of us is perfect or anywhere near that state of being. We have no real right at anytime to look for revenge on someone else even when their trespass is extremely great. But as humans we fail to see that Forgiveness is the only way we can release ourselves from the constant pain and hurt we live with daily due to the action of others.
Forgiving All also allows us to continue iLiving in Love with one another. That simple act of saying I'm sorry - even if you are not the one who is wrong - shows that the person you have the conflict with is more important to you than the issue.
When our ideas/issues become more important to us than the people we intend to be of service to, interact with, or care for... then we have a lose/lose situation. Nothing we have accomplished will remain, stand, or grow while your fellow human beings being regarded with as disposable. I know that Forgiving even when you know you are right stops the hate mill from getting a toehold in your life, your community, your relationships of all kinds, your church, and your country.
A little Forgiveness and Love today could stop a war tomorrow in all aspects of our life. So remember this - FORGIVE TOTALLY - It was a hard lesson for me because I advocate this in all dealings - but I did not offer this to some of the closest people in my life. I will never let the sun set again on any issue with my fellow human beings. Thank the Creator I still have time...running to FORGIVE TOTALLY right now!
Love Peace and Many Blessings
