CHANGE

I read of your scriptures and try my best to interperate them the best I can.  One of the many things that I have gathered is your lessons is forgiveness and the power it holds, and your philosophies on change.

I understand that change of any kind must start with ones self and then work outwardly.  You have shown this to me in many areas of your word, but the one example that stands out the most is that of your son, Jesus.  Rather than forcefully attempt to change people, or demand change, or even persuade change, he lead by example.  He showed us all in the way that He lived his life.  He made great changes, like that of Saul to Paul, but He did so but influencing others to change in how He lived his life.

The power of forgiveness is a great power. It frees us, it soothes us, it heals us, it is a fundamental building block of change, and influence.  In order to move forward and grow we must be willing to forgive others of their transgressions, and not hold on to them.  I have learned that it is near impossible to grow in a positive direction when I am holding on to negativity.  I feel that holding on to any grudge, wrong doing, insult, pain, or fault only weakens me and keeps me stuck in negativity.  Jesus forgave those that crucified him and ask Jah to forgive them as well for they know not what they do.

Forgive, Let Go, Change Inside, Influence Outside.
