FORGIVENESS, THE KEY TO FREEDOM —
Resentments keep us in the past, a past that can never be relived. Resentments keep a stranglehold on our mind. They keep us from appreciating the beauty of a moment. They stop us from hearing the loving voices of friends. We forget that we have a mission to fulfill our higher power’s Divine plan for our life.
Fortunately, we can shake this hold on us, and our freedom comes when we decide to forgive whatever transgressions are made against us. This decision, with some practice, can become second nature.
Clearly the choice to resent no one is our opportunity to free our mind and heart for the real activities God hopes we’ll attend to. Our purpose in this life goes unfulfilled when we’re consumed by resentments. Today, I will forgive and be free of resentments.
