Forgiving - A Way to Help Your Health

Thanks for visiting! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed using the feedburner link to the right.

I read the following sentence in a magazine a couple months ago:

Churchgoers are among the people most likely to forgive.

Um, yeah. That’s a no-brainer.

Some of the facts about forgiveness that I did find interesting were:

• It lowers your blood pressure and helps your heart.
• You will be more self confident.
• You’ll have less aches and pains; like headaches and stomach pains.
• It can lessen depression.
• You’ll have more friends and a better spirit.

Now that science has proved how good forgiving is there are clinics and classes on how to forgive.

The Bible has said the same thing for ages:

Matthew 18:21-22 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Matthew 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

The Lord really does know what is best for us - physically and emotionally.
