Forgiveness is Useful to Your Health
Refusing to forgive can actually hurt you.
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you are not feeling good,you find yourself going to the hospital and spending your money for consultations with a doctor though you don’t feel something wrong with your body, but you know something is wrong? well this means you are sick , not sick in your body, but sick in the real you which is your spirit. The things that make you sick in your flesh are not the same things that make you sick in your spirit. For a person to get sick, your system will have to be attacked by bacteria, or viruses that we cannot see with our naked eye, but with a microscope, but the viruses that make our spirit sick are not visible at the naked eye, and not visible with a microscope or any other device that has ever been created. Have you ever heard the proverb that says,”what’s on the inside is reflected on the outside?”,well it apply here and I will tell you what one of those viruses are.
Lack of forgiveness. now you may think how is this going to affect me, but think for a moment if this happens to you; You know somebody who did something really bad to you and you say,” I will never forgive him or her for what they did to me”, and every time you see that person, the only thing going through your mind is that you must get back at that person; well this is the start because right there you have a grudge that is starting to grow into your heart and a long as you don’t forgive the person that offended you, it will keep growing until you will not be able to carry it with you anymore. This grudge in your heart will get as heavy as a burden until you break down under its weight and you start feeling like you are falling apart, you start losing interest in things that were you priorities, you get into an intensive state of anger even when there is no problem,you start finding it hard to talk with others peacefully, you lose control of your actions and yourself, and it keeps getting worse until you see that you can’t handle it any longer and you try to see a doctor or a psychologist to find the solution and many times they try to tell you what the problem is and you try to convince yourself that they are right, but you know that the problem has not been exposed, and it is still growing in your heart. In this case you don’t have two cures, you only have one which is forgiveness. Forgiving is not an easy thing to do, and to do it you learn how to do it, so follow those steps.
-When you are offended by someone, if it is possible, do every thing in your power to meet the person.
-Tell them what they have done to offend you.
-try to know why they have done that to you.
-When you are done with the explanations and if the one that offended you was actually at fault tell that person that you forgive her, and it should come from your heart.
Once you are done with these four steps, you will feel relieved, like if you dropped a burden that you had been carrying for hundreds of miles in a desert. You will feel joy, peace,happiness, and feel like a new man.
what is on the inside is seen on the outside, and this means that if you are sick in your spirit, in your heart, at a time it will always show up by one way or another.

Forgiveness is the solution to the hurts we gather throughout our life. Jesus Christ is the finest example of this.Peace is the fruit we all have access to when we lay down our pride.
