As I forgive, I am peaceful in mind and heart.
Jesus taught us to forgive “seventy times seven
times.” In other words, unceasingly. But what if I don’t believe I can forgive?
What if I haven’t reached that state of willingness in mind and heart? If I am
having difficulty letting go of resentment, expectations, or anger, I know I
have help. Spirit is my ever-present support. When I am ready, I ask for help
in releasing my pain and moving forward with love and understanding. To prepare
for forgiveness, I acknowledge my feelings of anger, frustration, or
helplessness and surrender them to God. I release thoughts of resentment,
revenge, or ill will. I treat myself with loving compassion. I remember that
God can provide what others have failed to give. As I forgive, I find peace.
I do forgive, just as you
have asked.—Numbers 14:20
