Forgiveness is an ultimate act of love. It is not the act of "forgetting" an incident or upset. It is the remembering and the choice to "give away" the hurt we have attached to the experience ...  Forgiveness is the living of love or the application of love to our lives. It is remembering that we are capable of loving ourselves and others in a greater way.

The Law of Forgiveness states that certain ideas must be dissolved and cleared from the mind in order that other new ideas of a different character may replace them. Through forgiveness, we create new realities that allow us to experience greater love and freedom. Forgiveness sets the stage for a new act in our lives to begin. Holding on to judgments about experiences and people keeps us in limitation.  

When we allow ourselves the experience of forgiveness, we turn the key to open the cell of humanness and release the divinity that resides in us and in others, and allow that divinity to reign.  

Essentials:

1. Forgiveness starts in our own hearts. Only when we have forgiven ourselves can we give it to others.

2. Forgiveness is not conditional, even though our practice of it often is.

3. Forgiveness is an ongoing process. It continues in response to every judgment we make about ourselves.

4. Every gesture of forgiveness is sufficient. Whatever we are able to do now is enough. This understanding enables us to practice forgiveness with forgiveness.

 GOD"S YOKE IS EASY

Blessed Creator!

Thank You for breath and thank You for word!

Thank You for the knowledge that connecting to You is as easy as taking a breath!

Thank You for the truth that creative power is mine by speaking a word!

I am so grateful for breath that con- nects me to You and the Word that tells me that Your yoke is easy!

And because Your yoke is easy, I pause, take a breath and am reminded of who You are, and who I am.

I am so grateful that I now know that trusting You does not have to be hard.

So today, dear God, I forgive myself for making up excuses to trust my own devices.

I forgive myself for believing that I can only experience Your Goodness through difficulty and pain!

And today, Dear God, I accept that because of who You are, because of Your unconditional love, I can easily and effortlessly accept Your divine favor!

I am in awe of how great You are, and how easy it is for me when I just let go and let God!

Dear God, Your Word sustains me and encourages me to serve others.

So that they too may know that there is another choice, that there is an easier way!

Dear God, Your countless blessings inspire me to remember that Your words are true; that indeed Your "yoke is easy and Your burden is light"!

Thank You, God!

Amen.
