Don't Upset

Many times in our lives some people have wronged us, some may be petty but some may be something that is not worth forgiving. So, we tend to be hurt for a long time, with the thinking that the person who caused such pain should pay and be punished.

In painful situations, it is a common reaction to be hurt and upset. Various thoughts would be instilled in the mind about how that person would undo such painful acts or how vengeance would be a welcome alternative. Being a common reaction, that is really inevitable since the society that we belong to presets a scenario that we have grown to be used to.

For instance, we have the justice system. Every wrongdoer is judged and consequently has to pay for his sins through prison sentence or death penalty. In the movies that we watched, we cheered for the ending where the criminal gets his punishment.

But then, we also know that in the long run all these feelings of hurt would subside and eventually be gone. So why wait that long to let go of hurt? Whenever you're upset, it is not the other person who is on the losing end, but yourself. Even if you already inflicted pain unto other people, the hurt and suffering that you have felt does not subside. Anger is like a virus that serves no purpose other than to exist and grow at the expense of its host...you.

You can stop being upset at any time and you can stop being angry at any time. You can embrace peace and offer forgiveness. In that way, you will get past your bad moments and be relieved with your life.

You have no right to be upset. If you believe that you have every right to be one is not a good thinking. It is simply a mistaken idea.

You have the right to be at peace. Peace is present whether you embrace it or not, but you can place things accordingly so that you will not see or feel the effects. Anger may not exist...it can only be a product from an error, but peace is true and exists eternally. Embrace the eternal. Embrace peace.

Offer your right to be at peace to God. Every concern of ours should be cast away to the Lord. He will fix all things for you. And with his Holy Spirit, you will be taken towards the light, so you know that help is just a thought away.

Claim that your hurt and anger has been resolved. When you allow God to be in your life, everything will follow. Believe that you have been released from the agony and thus forgiveness shall be felt.

When you allow peace and love to enter your mind and embrace them, your capacity to forgive grows wonderfully.
