We have been programmed to believe that being the first to forgive is hard and challenging. But isn’t the weight of judgment that the ego has us carry — the constant thoughts that darken our days and the nights of tossing, turning and losing sleep — a much harder and heavier burden to bear? Sometimes we unconsciously choose the heavier burden of not forgiving because we have bought into the ego’s delusion of guilt. This guilt reinforces in us the idea that we are not worthy of or able to make the choices that will lead us to the state of peace. In essence, not forgiving another becomes an unconscious way of punishing ourself — by withholding peace from ourself. Today, let us recall that forgiveness and peace, as reflections of the Love that God is, are our inheritance and thus we are all forever worthy of them.
Today, let us become the hero of our own journey. No longer will we wait for another to take the first step toward forgiveness so that we can have peace. Today, we will take the first, second, and if need be, third step toward forgiveness, freedom and peace. Today, let us decide that our past will no longer haunt us. Tonight, having chosen forgiveness over judgment, being happy over being “right,” and thus peace over pain, we will find true rest. No matter how much the ego has programmed us to stay chained to the mindset of judgment, we will now choose the freedom that forgiveness offers. When we forgive another, we free ourself from carrying the burden of judgment, and in doing so, we return Home to the state of peace.
All glory to God.
Peace, Health, Happiness, Love, Laughter, and Light.
