"Nothing outside yourself can hurt you, or disturb your peace or upset you in any way." --A Course in Miracles Lesson 70, Workbook
It's all a matter of choice. How do we choose to see the world? If we choose to see it through the eyes of forgiveness, the world will treat us gently. If we choose to hold grievances, the world will continue to seem to be a fearful place.
When we forgive, we are trusting God and knowing that everything we experience is for our greater good. Sometimes it can be hard to understand this, especially when we are in the midst of what seems nightmarish. However, almost always, a purpose behind the pain comes clear at a later time.
In the meantime, we can look at the painful situations we have drawn to us and meditate on what we can learn from then. What can we accept and forgive here? How is this situation helping us to grow and purify and come to know more of love?
