June 13 – Forgiveness

When I gently focus my mind, one-pointed, through a regular practice of meditation, I find the supreme glory of the Lord.

When I take the time to thoughtfully contemplate the error in my actions or the actions of others, my emotions diminish. I become forgiving as I learn and understand about the error. Once forgiven, understanding and learning completed, I am free to move to the next moment is my life.

Where there is forgiveness, there is God.

Forgiveness is not something we do for other people. We do it for ourselves to get well and move on.

What I have done wrong or what others have done wrong to me are insignificant compared to the joy I am experiencing now and my next breath, my next thought.

I forgive and experience joy now! My emotions vastly improve as I forgive. With a willingness to forgive others, I also forgive myself. When I am able to completely overcome past hurts, I enjoy life in the present moment. My load is much lighter.

“Forgiveness is the fragrance the Violet sheds upon the heal that has crushed it.” Mark Twain
