My forgiveness for myself is in direct proportion to the forgiveness that I have gran

[Spiritual Engineer]

If we are not enjoying happiness, peace and serenity, consider the possibility that we may suffer from “un-forgiveness.” Do we experience any internal conflict, guilt, remorse, or regurgitated anger when we remember a past situation? We may be aware of these remnants of the past; they may linger like a shadow just below the surface, unconsciously blocking the healing flow of the sunlight of the spirit.

The teaching that we ask God to “Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors” directly indicates the fact of the reciprocity of forgiveness—we must extend to others the very quality we wish to receive (we give it out; we get it back.) The truth of forgiveness is that if we have sincerely asked for forgiveness, it has been automatically granted; we are forgiven but can only experience the feeling of being forgiven in direct proportion to degree we have forgiven other people.

Prayer: My indwelling spirit, help me to forgive everyone including myself. Help to accept that we are all truly children, trying to live this life as best we can; we will make mistakes that hurt us and others. Impress upon my heart that this day marks a new beginning for the rest of my life; I do not have to carry to burdens of yesterday nor fears of tomorrow
Take three relaxing breaths; ask your inner spirit to guide your meditation; reflect on the content, pausing for a few minutes in silence.

The following isn't always true, some are not granted a tomorrow, all I have is today.
