Forgive

Forgive
 
As I forgive myself, I can forgive others.
The words I say and choices I make can sometimes hurt others, and I may feel regret for something I’ve said or done. Forgiving others is one of the keys to living free. Before I can truly forgive anyone else, however, I must first be willing to forgive myself. At my core, I am divine. On the outside, I am a human being who can make mistakes and fall short of my best.
I take time to reflect on what happened and then pause, inhaling a deep, cleansing breath. Moving from human judgment into the space of divine love, I embrace the lesson available to me. This is a moment of discovery—an opportunity to find compassion for myself and others. I make amends, knowing that at the core of forgiveness is mercy, love, and grace.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.—Matthew 5:7
