🍋🥰Forgiveness doesn't mean that...Acceptance...👇

Forgiveness doesn't mean that...

Some people misunderstand that.

Forgiveness is acceptance.

And be with the person who attacked us

But really...

Forgiveness is self-indulgence.

Get out of the pain.

Overture

And the guilt we carry.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว การให้อภัยเป็นกระบวนการที่ซับซ้อนและต้องใช้เวลา หลายครั้งที่เราเข้าใจผิดคิดว่าการให้อภัยคือการต้องยอมรับพฤติกรรมที่ไม่ดีจากผู้อื่น แต่จริง ๆ แล้ว การให้อภัยคือการปลดปล่อยความรู้สึกหนักใจในใจเราเอง เพื่อไม่ให้ความเจ็บปวดที่เราถือครองทำร้ายตัวเองต่อไป ในช่วงเวลาที่ผ่านมา ฉันได้เรียนรู้ว่าการให้อภัยตัวเองก็สำคัญไม่แพ้การให้อภัยผู้อื่น เมื่อเรายอมรับข้อผิดพลาดและปล่อยวางความรู้สึกผิด เราจะพบว่าชีวิตมีความสงบและเริ่มมองเห็นสิ่งดี ๆ รอบตัวได้ชัดเจนขึ้น นอกจากนี้ การให้อภัยยังช่วยลดความเครียดและป้องกันผลกระทบทางจิตใจที่อาจส่งผลต่อสุขภาพกายและใจในระยะยาว มันไม่ใช่เรื่องง่ายที่จะทำใจปล่อยวางทันที แต่การฝึกฝนทำสมาธิหรือการพูดคุยกับคนที่เราไว้ใจสามารถช่วยให้ใจเราผ่อนคลายและเปิดรับการให้อภัยมากขึ้น สรุปแล้ว การให้อภัยคือของขวัญที่เรามอบให้ตัวเองเพื่อความสงบในจิตใจ และไม่จำเป็นต้องหมายความว่าเราจะต้องยอมรับความเจ็บปวดที่ถูกกระทำ แต่เป็นการเลือกเดินหน้าต่อไปอย่างมีพลังและความเข้มแข็งมากขึ้น

I’ve made peace with what happened but I’ve also learned my worth. Healing doesn’t require me to go back to the same place that broke me. Boundaries aren’t bitterness, they’re growth. Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is forgive and still choose a different seat. #embracevulnerability #hea

God is a very forgiving God. If we sin and we turn away and ask him for forgiveness we will be forgiven. Daniel 9:9 “The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him.” But so many people get comfortable in sin and grow the mindset “sin now, repent later.”
