DO THE WORK    

 

Create a mental or written list of every thought, feeling, condition, circumstance and situation you are surrendering to the Holy Instant called today.  Stay mindful not to attempt to resolve, change or fix anything you have surrendered.  If you slip or forget, use the following affirmation:

 

I forgive myself for attempting to do what I have asked God to do. No call to God can be unheard or left unanswered. Of this I can be sure; God's answer is the one I really want.

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 limi- tation.  

 

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 under-standing enables us to practice forgiveness with forgiveness.

 IN YOU  

 

God, You lift me up to the places on high, to the path of Your righteous glory, to the places unseen by human eyes where only You and the angels dwell.

 

I magnify Your name today.

 

I acknowledge You as my Leader in all things as we scale towering heights in unison.

 

In You is my safety.

 

In Your love and in Your glory forgive me, God, for relying on my own resources to lead.

 

Forgive me for once again thinking I have to figure everything out, God, when You are the magnificent Godhead and the true guide of my soul.

 

Forgive me, God, for not remembering Your lightness of being.

 

God, forgive me for dropping my sense of humor along the way; for it seems that laughter can oil the journey along the stuck places.

 

O Lord, forgive me for not remembering that You are the Divine Creator of all things, the knower of all ways.

 

I thank You, God, for this remembrance of who I am.

 

I thank You, God, for Your mighty vision for my life.

 

I thank You, God, for Your forgiveness of my mistakes and the infinite patience You demonstrate.

 

Gratitude wells up from the bottom of my soul spilling over as joy in the knowledge that we grow closer with each step.

 

Thank You, God. I love You God.

 

Amen. Ashe.

 

Minister Kim. M. Bain

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.
