Needless to Forgive

“That friend of ours with no false humility used to say: ‘I haven’t needed to forgive, because the Lord has taught me how to love’... To forgive with one’s whole heart and with no trace of grudge will always be a wonderfully fruitful disposition to have.”(Furrow, Josemaria Escriva)

Learn to forgive... it will save you a lot of aches and pains. It will allow you to sleep tightly at night. Peace is the consequence of forgiveness.

Forgive yourself, forgive others. Sounds easier than done. But, it's the most logical option.

Why keep a grudge? Why let yourself and others suffer? Why be obsessed at something that cannot be undone? Past is past. You cannot bring it back ... you can only learn from it.

Move on... This is the best path to take ... it will bring you happiness. The other path will only make you sad and miserable. You don’t want that – do you? Of course not, nobody wants to be sad.

Above all, learn to love ... this way, you don’t need to forgive ... because love will fill your heart, giving it no space for even the slightest grudge.
