We as a nation and world need to heal. The first step to healing is forgiveness. Forgiveness is a conscious decision to release negative feelings and emotions toward someone who has harmed you. They may not desire to be forgiven, yet in order to heal, we must forgive.
In my daily prayer, I was reminded of our situation when I came across, “Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.” The Journal of Positive Psychology conducted a survey that revealed forgiving ourselves decreases depression, reduces anxiety, and strengthens your immune system.
When you hold on to pain and carry grudges, it’s like toxins being released into your body. In order to heal and eliminate these toxins, you must forgive.
NFL Player, Drew Brees, Quarterback of the New Orleans Saints, shared how kneeling during the National Anthem is disrespectful to the flag. It was his opinion, he is not a racist, and had shown a tremendous amount of love and generosity to the people of New Orleans – especially after Katrina. The outcry came from his teammates and other high-profile athletes. Did Drew Brees fight them? No. He asked for forgiveness.
By asking for forgiveness anyone you release your guilt and pain. Your healing can begin.
