Have you ever held a grudge against someone? I did and noticed it was keeping me pretty occupied. Avoiding them, trying not to think about them, trying hard to pretend they didn’t hurt me…it was exhausting.
When we don’t forgive, we stay in the struggle. It is a burden we carry on our souls that keep us prisoners to the past. We are in bondage with anger, bitterness and resentment. When we don’t forgive, we find there is a wall that separates us from love and keeps us from moving forward.
Forgiveness is an opportunity to let go. Forgiveness puts an end to the illusion of separation. It takes a great deal of courage to let go. When we do, it is one of the most important processes that will bring harmony to life and peace to our soul. Forgiveness sets us free to express love into the world.
Affirmation: “I see the walls of resentment and separation melting away and I live in the presence of love.” Charles Fillmore
