click for audioWhen a painful memory intrudes into your days and nights, what you are really being offered is the opportunity to forgive, heal from the painful experience and find peace. Forgiveness is not about others deserving or not deserving something. Forgiveness is about you deserving and being worthy of peace. That is why you forgive. That is why forgiveness is for you. When you choose to forgive instead of judge yourself or another, you free yourself from having to carry the heavy burden of judgment. When you continue to hurt, it is because, unconscious as it may be, you are choosing judgment over forgiveness and thus pain over peace. If, for whatever reason, you can’t yet forgive yourself or another, then invite God to forgive for you. Do so and begin to understand what true freedom from the ego’s judgment-centric grip feels like.
Today, if you desire to let go of painful memories then willingly choose to no longer support such thoughts with your time, focus and energy. As long as you support your judgments of self and others, you will carry your painful memories. Today, stop serving a way of thinking that is not serving you. Instead, place your time, focus and energy on forgiveness and trusting your Divine plan. Only you, through free will, can decide between judgment, suffering and pain — or forgiveness, trusting in the Divine design and peace. Today, if a painful memory knocks on your mind’s door, tell it that it’s no longer welcome. Tell it that you will no longer entertain it. Tell it that you now completely and wholeheartedly forgive it and all those involved with it. Tell it that you now place it fully in God’s hands. Tell it that you now are choosing peace instead of it.
All glory to God.
Peace, Health, Happiness, Love, Laughter, and Light.
