Forgive
I invest my time and energy in cocreating powerful, new experiences.
Forgiveness is the fulfillment of a divine law, one that can open my very soul to the presence of God within me and within others. Even when I believe I have been wronged by another person, I forgive -- not just for the sake of the other person, but also for my own sake.
When I forgive, I am taking responsibility for cocreating my life. I don't spend time blaming others for things in the past or make excuses for current outcomes. I invest my time and energy in cocreating powerful, new experiences in the present moment.
When I forgive someone, I may have some effect on that person, but I myself am deeply affected. Inner peace, caring, and respect fill my days as I bring spiritual qualities into expression in every activity of life.
"And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors." -- Matthew 6:12
