Why should I
consider forgiveness?
Every human being encounters overwhelming
circumstances and conflicts that challenge our mental,
emotional, and even physical well being. Handled well, these
encounters build our character and equip us for additional
growth and success. But without a clear understanding of the principle
of forgiveness, these encounters can be personally
devastating and may result in one or more of the
following:
- Broken
Relationships
-
Emotional
Confusion
-
Poor
Health
-
Inability to
Work
-
Social
Anxiety
-
Periods of
Depression
-
Unexplained Anger or
Rage |
- Withdrawal or Reclusive Behavior
-
Irrational Fears or
Anxiety
-
Chemical
Dependencies
-
Sexual or Physical
Abuse
-
Divorce, Suicide or
even
Murder |
"To forgive is to
set a prisoner free -- and discover the prisoner was YOU."

Is forgiveness
really this critical?
All the Universe operates according to a well-crafted
design and human relationships are no exception. Whether you
are seeking to be equipped to live a peaceful and abundant
life, or are desperately seeking healing and release from
devastating relationships or circumstances, each component of a
healthy and enjoyable life is grounded on the core principle of
forgiveness. All other life components must be built
upon a foundation of forgiveness or the entire structure
will eventually collapse.
"Unforgiveness is the act of drinking poison and
hoping that someone else dies."

How do I
know if forgiveness is what I'm really looking
for?
Many people do not
immediately recognize their need for help and are often approached
by those who love and respect them. Sometimes
an individual is acutely aware of their struggles
and is actively searching for answers, privately, on their
own. In either case, forgiveness is the key to the doorway of
healing and freedom. Our free evaluation, 'Understanding the Power of Forgiveness' will help you to determine your awareness of, and
willingness to capitalize on the principles of
forgiveness.
"When you hold
resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition
by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the
only way to dissolve that link and get free." (Catherine
Ponder)
