Forgiveness

Forgive everyone and everything, including yourself.
This mental eraser filled with Love is intended to wash all the dark smears off our inner mirrors.
I want to reflect the Light and Love within each one.
When I carry a history of the wrong-doings of another or myself, I smear mud on my relationships.
To judge you hurts me.
To judge myself hurts you.
Whenever I participate in making the world darker, I block out the awareness of the Light within.

Forgiveness need not be "felt".
It simply needs to be practiced.
Forgiveness is a choice.
It is a choice to clear my mind of history, of negativity, of harm and error.
Forgiveness is a great healer.
Forgiveness brings light to every mind.

When I begin and end my day with forgiveness, I give everyone an opportunity to choose again.
When I am willing to forgive the apparent error, conscious or unconscious, I awaken myself.
When I believe everyone of us has Love and good intentions in our core, I support that realization.
When I am willing to trust and free each one to improve the quality of their relationships, I love myself.

Forgiveness heals.
Forgiveness releases pain and anxiety.
Forgiveness makes us happy.
Forgiveness sets us free.

Forgiving and loving you and me and All,
Betty Lue
