“To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness.” – Dr. Robert Muller
It’s kind of amusing, I was thinking about forgiveness the other day, and holding on to grudges and what a bad thing that is. I’d recently had a huge disagreement with someone, and there was an opportunity to work things out, but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to. Well, I wanted to end the disagreement, but I also wanted to hold onto my petty feelings of hurt and anger. I decided that it was better, so much better to let go of the anger and the grudge I was holding. I did, the person and I talked some things through, and while our issues aren’t resolved 100%, I can honestly say I have such a feeling of lightness around me and in me. It feels so good – so much better than those hurt and angry feelings I was holding onto with both hands.
So when I came across this quote when doing this week’s Daily Positive Thoughts, I knew I had to include it. Forgiveness is good, in fact, it’s one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves or someone else.
