I Am Forgiven: Embracing the Healing Power of Forgiveness Shaina Tranquilino March 11, 2024

Forgiveness is a profound and transformative force that has the power to mend broken hearts, repair damaged relationships, and bring about inner peace. "I Am Forgiven" is a mantra that encapsulates the essence of liberation from the chains of resentment, guilt, and anger. In this blog post, we will explore the profound impact of forgiveness on our lives and the freedom that comes from embracing the idea that we are worthy of forgiveness.

The Healing Journey:

Forgiveness is not a one-time event but rather a journey of self-discovery and healing. It involves acknowledging the pain, understanding its roots, and choosing to release the grip it has on our hearts. The phrase "I Am Forgiven" becomes a beacon of hope during this journey, reminding us that we are not defined by our mistakes or the mistakes of others. Self-Forgiveness:

The first step on the path to forgiveness is often forgiving oneself. We all make mistakes, and harboring guilt can be a heavy burden to carry. "I Am Forgiven" is a declaration that we deserve compassion and understanding from ourselves. It's about letting go of the self-condemnation and embracing the possibility of growth and redemption. Forgiving Others:

Extending forgiveness to others is a powerful act of compassion. Holding onto resentment only poisons our own well-being. When we say, "I Am Forgiven," we open the door to granting others the same grace. It is a conscious choice to release the negative energy tied to the hurt caused by someone else's actions. Forgiveness doesn't condone the behavior but sets us free from the emotional shackles.

The Freedom in Forgiveness:

"I Am Forgiven" is a mantra that embodies the freedom found in forgiveness. As we forgive ourselves and others, we liberate ourselves from the past, creating space for personal growth and emotional well-being. The weight of anger and resentment is replaced with a sense of peace, allowing us to live more fully in the present. Embracing Imperfections:

Forgiveness allows us to embrace our imperfections and those of others. We recognize that everyone is on their own journey, navigating through life's challenges. By acknowledging mistakes as part of the human experience, we foster a culture of understanding and empathy. Restoring Relationships:

Forgiveness has the power to mend fractured relationships. The mantra "I Am Forgiven" becomes a bridge between hearts, enabling healing conversations and rebuilding trust. It opens the door to shared vulnerability and understanding, paving the way for stronger, more resilient connections.

"I Am Forgiven" is a declaration of freedom, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Through self-forgiveness and the forgiveness of others, we unlock the doors to healing and growth. Letting go of the past allows us to fully embrace the present and build a future filled with compassion, understanding, and love. As we cultivate forgiveness in our lives, we step into a world where grace and redemption flourish, creating a brighter and more harmonious existence for ourselves and those around us.

I am forgiven.

Because my sins have been forgiven, I can go I. Peace. I don’t have be tormented by the constant reminders of my sin, of what I did wrong; I don’t have to dwell on past mistakes that I’ve made; I don’t have to be weighed down with the burden of shame; I don’t have to wallow in puddles of guilt. In Christ, I am free to move on, I am free to hope, I am free to rejoice, and I am free to bask in the truth of forgiveness and justification. And because it so, I am free to continue moving forward in God’s peace, a peace that passes all understanding and keeps my heart and mind through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7)

When Jesus forgives you, you’re free to go in peace. No more Shame. No more guilt. No more dwelling on the past. Keep on moving on.

Something the Lord taught me this morning from Luke 7:36-50.

Love Byte July 2 You and I hold a lot of goals at one time. What if today we focus on one goal? Peace of mind while making forgiveness our single function. This doesn’t mean you have to put up with anything- it simply means you can peacefully choose not to while being forgiving at the same time. #forgiveness #iloveyou #marriagegoals #iforgiveyou #iamforgiven https://www.instagram.com/p/CCJtdtLj1So/?igshid=1kybfwd38u8qv

My "SKL Story" 😁 Nagprepare na ako ng tutulugan ko kasi sabi ko sa sarili ko, "inaantok na talaga ako." I kneeled down for a while to pray as I usually do bago matulog. While praying, my conscience kept on telling me, "oyyy di ka pa nakakapagdevotion, sa laro inaabot ka ng umaga pero pag usapang devotion na, pag inantok, antok?" I actually tried to resist this but my heart started to respond. While I am still saying a prayer, yung kamay ko unti-unti nang gumagapang papunta sa Bible (take note my mind kept on resisting this thought of getting the book, that's why I think twice bago ko siya tuluyang makuha). But tadaaaa! Hawak ko na siya. 😁😁😁 Then I continued to pray. Suddenly I cried. 😢 I remember how an undeserving and unworthy I am because of being a sinner. But God still demonstrates His love for me and my family despite of that fact. Ilang beses na kong nagtakang lumayo kay Lord sa pagtatampo, pero ang puso ata talaga hindi mo madadaya kung ano at sino ang tunay na laman. Kaya naman heto ako't patuloy na bumabalik kay Lord. Madalas bumitaw, pero di kailanman binitawan ni Hesus dahil Siya'y ayaw akong muling maligaw. Salamat O Panginoon dahil pagkakahawak Mo sa aki'y lalo pang hinigpitan. Mahal po kita Hesus! At ikaw din, mahal ka ni Hesus!

isa sa mga nalimutan ko nang gawin ay ang tumugtog at umawit ng papuri sa Diyos. hindi kagandahan ang aking tinig at hindi rin ako mahusay tumipa ng gitara subalit alam ko na ito ang marapat. salamat sa Diyos na sya ang nagadya ng lahat ng mga pangyayari. back to basic. pagibayuhing nauge ang pananalangin, pagaaral ng kanyang salita, pagpupuri at pasasalamat. #iamasinner #iamnothingwithouthim #iamlost #iamfound #iamforgiven #iamblessed #Jesuslovesme #jesuslovesmethisiknow https://www.instagram.com/p/B-BD03mhz76/?igshid=oox2qpj94gst

I'll be honest. Forgiveness has NEVER been one of my strong points. In my younger days, I was pretty vindictive. I felt like if I let people get away with any form of disrespect against me or someone close to me, I was a punk. And unfortunately, I still think that way. But at the same time, I have to look at all the wrong I've done to people. And how God have mercy on me when I won't have mercy on anyone else? #Mark1125 #ScriptureOfTheDay #BibleScriptures #HolyBible #JesusQuotes #YeshuaQuotes #Forgiveness #ForgivenessQuotes #LetGoAndLetGod #IAmForgiven https://www.instagram.com/p/B4KazwLAtYg/?igshid=1ajagvjkgm0dm
