DO THE WORK

  

           

  

 


Take a few moments to write down the things and/or people You have considered Your enemies or something that could harm you.

 

You may find it helpful to work with the prompts:

 

In the past I have believed that ________ is an enemy in my life.

 

In the past I have believed that ________________could harm me.

 

After each statement, write the declaration, "I forgive myself for holding this belief and I surrender it to the universe."


 

 

   

 

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 our- selves 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 judg- ments 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 condi-tional, 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.

RESTORED TO JOY

I am one with Mother/Father God.  God is my every thing.  I am one with the Spirit that flows in and through me. God is my joy; my beginning and my end, Alpha and Omega.  
 
I experience His joy within. I know that Her love is within me and I experience it all the time. I honor the presence of God in me. There is no separation between God and me. I am the perfect manifestation of Her Joy. God's Joy is my Joy. God and I are one.

 

 

I am now ready to receive Her forgiveness; I know that my Mother/Father is all merciful and kind.  I release all human errors knowing that my loving Father has removed them. I know that He has forgiven my human mistakes and errors.

 

I acknowledge that in the presence of God there is only love.  I am in the presence of God and I am pure and clean.  I recognize that in Him there are no errors, only love and forgiveness.   I know that He has forgiven my human fallacy. 

 

I know that He has washed away my transgressions. I know that He has already cleaned my errors away.

 

I acknowledge that in me there is only God's joy, only Her love.  I am grateful for God's forgiveness.  I am grateful that She restored me to joy. I rejoice in His joy and love for me.

 

I release this prayer with joy knowing that it is done.

 

Amen and Ashe.

 

Minister Deborah Welch

  

 Affirmations

 

 

I forgive myself for thinking that

I am not perfect, not good enough,

not smart enough and not lovable.

I claim my perfection, my enough-ness,

my intelligence, knowing  that I am

loved and lovable.

 

I live in the now and vision my

future knowing my Higher Power  

is at work in my life.

 

In this now moment,

I understand the true  

meaning of forgiveness.

To forgive others is to

love and forgive myself.

 

As I forgive myself and others,

I release anger and free myself

to create a life that serves my family,

my community and all of humanity.

 

I practice forgiveness and claim

that the past has no effect

on my present or future.

 

I no longer hold onto anger

and resentment.

As I release negative feelings

and destructive thoughts, I invite

peace and harmony into my life.

 

I have the courage today to forgive

my parents for any wrong that I

thought they did to me.

I take responsibility for my anger,

I take responsibility for any

hateful thoughts and I take

responsibility for

destructive feelings.

I forgive myself for any grudges

that I hold against my parents

or those who raised me.

 

 


 

         
         
  
   
You might be asking yourself, "Why would I want to practice forgiveness?" The answer is simple. Practice develops skill. Skill leads to mastery. When you master the practice of forgiveness it becomes as natural as breathing. And when you know how to forgive, you eliminate excess mental and emotional weight that keeps you stuck in repetitive situations, circumstances, and experiences that are not healthy or productive.

The only true way to create a more loving, productive, and fulfilling life is by forgiving the past.  Releasing the past restores us to the full energy of the present moment.

Forgiveness addresses how we think and feel about others and ourselves, and how those thoughts manifest within our lives as energy.
