How Forgiveness Opens Your Heart to Love and Happiness, and Makes Resentments Disappear

Forgiveness Opens Your Heart

Kurt Evans
In life, it would help to know how forgiveness opens your heart to love and happiness and makes resentments disappear; this would open us up to better health and a better world for everyone.

Forgiveness

When you have forgiveness in your heart, all the negative thoughts and emotions disappear. There's no anger, sadness, or sorrow in forgiveness. Forgiveness has no room for feelings of guilt or long held resentments. Forgiveness is full of love and happiness.

The Ultimate Act Of Redemption

Forgiveness is the ultimate act of redemption because it sets you free from everything. When you say I forgive you, you release someone from any kind of feelings of guilt that they may have. This allows them to put constructive energy in some other area of life and it gives you the freedom to move on with your life by releasing any ill feelings that you may have.

Resentments

The human heart can hold on to feelings of resentment for a long time. These resentments can turn into feelings of anger, sorrow, grief, and hatred; and, they can eat away at the core of your being and cause you to attract a standard of living to yourself that you don't enjoy. Then, when you're miserable in life, you don't know why, it's a mystery.

The Search For Happiness

The search for happiness outside your self begins. This can lead you to drug and alcohol addiction because when you search for happiness outside your self, you will never find it. The only place to find happiness is, within your self.

Happiness Is The Way

Happiness is the way, not a destination. Happiness is a way of doing things or an attitude that conquers all others. Happiness is contagious too. If you hang around someone who's happy long enough; eventually, you'll become happy too. Or, the opposite might happen and they might become as miserable as you are.

Experiencing Happiness

You may be experiencing happiness and not know why you're happy or what you're happy about. When you debate these issues in your head, that's when conflicts set in and you may experience utter despair.

Acceptance

Sometimes, all you need is acceptance of happiness. Happiness flows freely throughout the universe and brings harmony wherever it goes.

Let Happiness Flow

Let happiness flow through your bones and to the core of your being. For whatever seeds you plow in your mind, you shall experience the results at harvest time and reap the rewards. When you plant seeds of happiness and water them with care, love, and affection; they flourish into great moments of joy and triumph.
