Russia and Ukraine
Russia and Ukraine are currently at war.
Is there any solution?
The first step is to stop arguing and fighting, despite justified daily anger and resentment, which only leads to the ever-increasing human desire for revenge and punishment.
Can both sides take a time-out to work through loving and forgiving each other and themselves for actions they have taken in the past in this conflict?
That will take time, but we have seen forgiveness take place among other people who previously waged war against each other.
Can we start the process of healing before generations pass, while hatred, revenge, pride, and justified anger still run so deep?
Will that be easy?
No.
Possible?
Yes.
How do we forgive others and ourselves?
The only thing we need is the willingness to do it.
The greatest first step is to become open to forgiving others.
Then, when a thought comes into your head about individuals, peoples, or countries that you dislike, hate, or resent, say to them in your mind, “I completely forgive you (mention their name); I break the chain of hate that links me to you; may peace and love be with you; you are free; and I am free.”
When thoughts of those individuals, peoples, or countries come up again in your mind, say, “I have forgiven you; bless you; and may peace and love be with you.”
If you repeat that last sentence every time the individuals, peoples, or countries come up in your mind in the future, you will find that all your hatred, resentment, and dislike have disappeared completely, and your forgiveness of them is total.
Next, forgive yourself for harming yourself in any way.
Repeat to yourself, “I forgive you (say your full name); may peace and love be with me; I am free.”
Afterward, if thoughts of past guilt come up again, say, “I have forgiven myself for that; may peace and love be with me; I am free.”
You will find that you have forgiven yourself, and no longer sabotage or punish yourself, or create limitations in your life.
You have set others and yourself free.
The truth has set you free.
Once both sides have begun this process, God will reveal Himself to them and help the peace process along.
God will provide all the wisdom and resources needed.
Big problems really can have simple solutions.
However, it takes our willingness and choice to bring about these simple solutions.
Without arguments and fights, there will be no “justified” anger.
Unconditional love and forgiveness are the only solution.
I also suggest starting and attending Expert Giver Groups to remove all the blocks in the way of unconditionally loving others.
