Understood... acceptance

Today I understood: To heal my soul and reach the inner peace when someone agreed me repeatedly, I need to forgive him and then accept the person as he is; otherwise even though I forgive one and a thousand times, I will keep on feeling resentment, anger and rancor towards him.

There has been people who has attacked me repeatedly, in several ways; and they continue, despite that I protect myself stepping aside. I have done the exercise of forgiving them, but because they keep on hitting me, I finally comprehended that I should accept them as they are.

I understood that their aggressions loose power over me, if I achieve to accept them just as they are; with their evil characteristic as thieves, abusers, manipulators, liars etc. So I started to study how I could really accept from my heart, the person that repeatedly agreed me…. and I realized that the process was the same as with forgiveness.

First I decide to accept the person as a “manipulative liar”, expressing it loud and clear! Because I cannot produce that acceptance by myself, I ask my Heavenly Father to put that acceptance, that the person is a “manipulator”, in my heart.

When the person attacks again, of course I will feel annoyed, of course I must protect myself, of course I must forgive him (for my own benefit); but in my heart will be engraved “… he is like this, what else can be expected…” and this acceptance will give me inner peace despite the action.

Process: I decide to forgive him for xxx – Father put forgiveness in my heart with him for xxx – I choose to accept that he is xxx – Father put the acceptance in my heart that he is xxx.
