When the "Christ child came into this world, he came to forgive sin. To teach man to walk uprightly before "God. He taught us many lessons on forgiveness, and love.
Yet for many this is the hardest lesson to learn, some may never truly understand "God's deep love for his spirit children. As they struggle with their past, letting go of the mistakes they have made almost seems impossible.
Man is hell bent of punishing himself for his mistakes, where "God is so forgiving, we humans can't seem to grasp that concept it's ok to let go of yesterday! Today is a whole new day filled with new beginnings.
You can't change yesterday you can only work on today the here and now! We spend far to much time punishing our selves over things long gone it's time to embrace the person you are today and move into the future of tomorrow.
"Tiss the season of giving, give yourself the gift of forgiveness, you will be happier and healthier for it Spending time in the past is not where you need to be, the only thing one should take from the past is the lessons learned and apply them to your life to help make you a better person than you were yesterday.
Every new day is a new beginning, focus on that instead of spending time and energy on beating your self up. The person that you were a day ago or even a week ago is not the person you are today, hopefully you are a better person the kind of person you would love to hang out with.
If by chance you are not that person then perhaps you should work on being that person.Take what yesterday had to offer and perfect the person you wish to become, use your mistakes to your advantage instead as a tool to beat yourself up with.
It's not "God's way to keep on punishing us on a daily bases! That is not his way but we all know who loves to see us torment ourselves daily! You got it that master of trickery! Oh how he loves to see us, reliving our mistakes over and over again till we can't stand to be around our own selves!
The only problem with this is, we can't get away from ourselves. Nope we are stuck with us! So how do we move forward? The first step is to forgive, forgive yourself for the mistakes you have made. You can't change them but you can make sure not to repeat them after all you know first hand how they made you feel.
The second thing you must do is learn to love yourself! So many people have no idea how special they truly are. They have never looked into their own soul to see the beauty that lays deep with in. Once you have learned to love yourself you will see how easy it is to love others.
"Christ came upon a midnight clear, He came to teach us how to love one another as well as ourselves. He didn't come to remind us of our past mistakes but rather He came to show us Mercy and Forgiveness. And if He can look past our sins' to see the beautiful soul that lies with in, who are we to see only the scars of yesterday?
The gift of forgiveness is ours for the asking all we have to do is let go of the past so that we can see the beauty of today and tomorrow will be a new day filled with wonder and excitement of the person you will become the kind of person that you have been longing to know, the person you were meant to be!
