In church this morning, my minister said this:
It is true that forgiveness is not for the feint of heart. Real forgiveness work requires determination and fortitude. Real forgiveness involves a willingness to look deep into your own soul and in that looking you may see much that you would rather not look at.
But it is in that looking that the true growth comes. Only in that looking are we able to understand and release the mental blocks that we have created in our minds which keep us separated from our Source and from our oneness with each other.
I want to be that spiritual warrior. I want this to be the life in which I finally break through to a higher level of mind.
So I just keep doing my forgiveness work. I forgive every day. And I often work to forgive my past. And I look deep inside my mind and examine my thinking. Even when it means that I have to mentally relive some of the more painful moments in my life. As I forgive on all these levels, I find greater happiness in all aspects of my life. This is my forgiveness lifestyle. I hope it will be yours, too.
