Today I’m thinking about forgiveness. I thinking that to forgive may be the most difficult of spiritual tasks, and yet the most important. Why important? If I can’t forgive, I harbor resentments, judgments and everything else that separates me from God and keeps God’s presence from me. God may be an idea in the distance, but not as love living inside me.
Why is forgiving difficult? Because my ego, in wanting center stage, needs to hold onto the very feelings I need to release in order forgive-- anger, jealously, envy…you know the list.
I know can’t forgive on my own, but through prayer I ask for God’s help so I can move from fear to love. Thank God, God is more powerful than I am.
