Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a gift from God. How is it that we expect God to forgive us all the time from our silly behavior and consistent disobedience and yet he continues to pardon our behavior and selfish acts. We are challenged as human beings to forgive people of such small offenses. I'm included in that category. I Thank God for his Grace and Mercy over my life that he continues to Love me and support me and Never turn his back on me. God is Love and if we walk with him we too must have love in our hearts and behavior. He forgave us first and now we must learn to model his nature. No it's not easy to be like him even though he made us in his image. We must go before him daily and ask for his assistance to help us process our own selfish thoughts and behavior. Jesus said" father forgive them because they know not what they do". Unforgiveness is bondage...chains and shackles on your spirit. Just because your mind is imprisoned, don't allow your spirit to pay the price for what God already did for mankind. He died so that we might be free. He paid the ultimate price.
Forgive today!!

Forgiveness

Have you forgiven anyone today?..this month?..this year?....How many people in this world carry the baggage of unforgiveness. Unforgiveness can hold you hostage. Even if you haven't taking the time to forgive someone that has done you wrong ask yourself if you have forgiven yourself?
Being a Child of God we can cast our cares and concerns over to God because He has forgiven us..his children over and over again!..Tree of Life Wellness wants to encourage someone today.
Forgive that father who mistreated you. Forgive that mother who perhaps wasn't the best mother. I wonder if Michael Jackson was able to forgive his father would he be alive today. He pursued many surgeries to erase any resemblance of his father to the point where he became unrecognizable. Forgiveness is a gift to yourself. The best thing is that the person that hurt you doesn't have to participate in the process of forgiveness. Forgive Today!

I decided to develop a wellness plan that focused on Healing and Wholeness. Forgiveness is such a large part in being a complete person. Many people in this country are significantly overweight suffering in their own personal pain. The Fat and the weight is a by product of people's hurt, pain and unforgiving feelings. Imagine carrying the burden of unforgivness. Using food at the antidote to feeling better. Tree of Life mission is to reach out to the spiritually wounded, assisting in the area of forgiveness. Creating a platform to forgive. There's a power associated with forgiveness. What a heavy weight we carry when we walk around with unforgiving feelings in our hearts. Who have you forgiven today, this month, this year?...Yeah it's a process! But it's LIBERATING to FORGIVE!!!
