Episode 54 - Forgiveness and Power

In this episode, we start on a difficult but critical topic. Forgiveness is a process that is charged for some and easier for others. We all want to feel like we have control over our lives. The truth is that we don’t control much at all. Sometimes that perceived powerlessness creates angry behavior. You’ve seen people rage in ways out of proportion to a situation. What does that have to do with forgiveness? Everything. Forgiveness is a simple choice in our hearts. No one can make us forgive, and no one can prevent us from forgiving. It is a process that happens in the heart. Forgiveness breaks chains and creates freedom. Most of all for the one who forgives. Tomorrow is a biggie - forgiving yourself. Many can forgive others for the most henious of sins and crimes, but, when it comes to forgiving ourselves...that is one of the most difficult things that we don't do. But, when it happens, it's an unbelievable gift.
