Welcome

This blog is more than an account of Near Death Experiences. It ponders in detail the tough questions of life. Who are you, and why are you here in this physical world? What happens when you die, and is there a judgment? However, most anything could appear here. This is not a news blog, archived posts are just as relevant as new posts.

Spiritual Growth, Forgiveness

Forgiveness is closure. It releases past hurts, and anger to make way for a new beginning free of stress. Do not hold anger at anyone or anything. Doing so will only hurt you, while doing no harm whatsoever to the object of your anger. Anger binds you to the cause of your anger, and holds you in the past, reliving the incident over and over. Anger is like battery acid, it eats away at the object holding it. Free yourself from the past now by forgiving. It is wise to forgive quickly, so you can move on to other experiences. There is nothing that can’t be forgiven. It doesn’t matter how unfair or terrible you have been treated, forgiveness is your release, it does not condone or pardon the harm done to you. No one gets away with anything in life. The rule “you will reap whatsoever you sow” is aways in effect. Let God handle it, forgive and get on with your life.

Self forgiveness is as important as forgiving others. You need to forgive yourself for all the mistakes you may have made. There is nothing that can’t be forgiven. Remember God’s love is greater than any mistake you have made or will make. Learn and move on.

A lady wrote me to say her life was ruined by her dentist who molested her while she was being treated. When I asked her to forgive the dentist she became angry at me adding to her pain. She had been suffering for three years trying to “get back” at the dentist who harmed her. Three years she didn’t have to waste, if she could have forgiven. Forgiveness would not have made the hurt any less real, nor would it have condoned the incident. But it would have released her from the hurt, and given her three years of life back.

A most profound forgiveness was shown in Georgetown, PA. by the Amish community. A gunman had killed five of their children while they were attending school before killing himself. The Amish community not only forgave the killings, but dozens of Amish neighbors came out to mourn the gunman at his funeral. Such expression of God’s love is seldom seen. It brought tears to my old eyes in reading about it.

Restorative Justice Program

Could you forgive a person who murdered your spouse? There is a program being used in some prisons called a Restorative Justice Program that attempts to bring murderer, and family of the murdered together in forgiveness. The family forgives the murderer and the murderer acknowledges the wrongness of their action. It is a most holy place where forgiveness is given and wrong doings are acknowledged. Great love is shown and experienced with both participants gaining from the experience. An earlier post lists some details.
