Are we giving due care to our heart?
We are naturally anxious of the physical well-being of the body. We feed our body with food at least three times a day, take regular bath, indulge in physical fitness activities, consult our doctor not only to be in good health but also to look younger and flawless, pamper it at the spa and saloon, take a break for relaxation, etc. All these things we do and many more just to maintain our body in good shape and condition.
Are our body needs right attention and care, so do our heart being the center of the body. We cannot avoid situations and circumstances wherein we will be hurt and get offended by other people, either intentionally or unknowingly through unkind and tactless words or through impulsive actions.
There are times that we find it difficult to rid ourselves of these hurts each day especially those that gave us deep emotional pains; hence, these are accumulated day after day until they are piled up for months and even years. Unless we forgive completely, these grudges that are continuously kept in our heart being the one connected with emotion, will eventually become anger, resentment, bitterness, and hatred. According to Dr. Bradley Nelson and I quote: “Hanging onto emotions blocks energy, holding it back like a dam, cutting off organs from the healthy flow of vital energy they need. Emotions that stay trapped in our body can make us sick and cause tremendous physical pain.”
We need to unburden our heart and we can do this by learning to forgive. Forgiveness, however, does not mean that we are condoning the wrong that was done to us but it is more of setting ourselves free so, we do not remain in captivity of a heavy and wounded heart. We shall be doing a big favour to ourselves if we let go of past heartaches since this will enable us to move forward swiftly and go on well in life. Let us then choose to cleanse our hearts and obtain peace through the power of forgiveness.
Life is short, so let us forgive quickly. We are aware that this is not easy to do, but if we need some help, we have a God who is always waiting for us to call on Him.
