As I listen to the love of My Higher Power that is speaking to my heart, I can and do forgive. I release any desire to be unforgiving as love reminds me that people can and do make mistakes. Often the words or actions taken by others were not intended to hurt me.

Sometimes the smallest slights are the biggest obstacles to me in being forgiving, especially if those responsible are people I hold dear. Yet I can stop a small mistake from growing into a mountain of grief by forgiving.

The healing love of God opens my mind and heart to forgiveness. Divine love lifts me above challenges and penetrates to the core of others, revealing the spirit of God that is within them.

Love
