Morningstar things I learned is that blaming someone you do not know does very little to ease you. My point is that many of us do not know God or Love. We know what we have heard about God and what we expect from Love and if we don’t like what we’ve heard or don’t get what we want, we reject them both. And the fact is we cannot have one without the other, because God is Love. That means if we have one then we have the other or we have neither. This statement is beyond religion my friends and gets to the heart of the matter. Forgiveness is an act of Love. I will put this as simply as I know how and you can contact me if you have any questions.
God is One. Love is One. We are One. This is why you must forgive yourself in order to forgive others and why holding a grudge against someone else hurts you. Forgiveness is an act of Love. You cannot truly Love and restrict your capacity to forgive. “anyone who says they are in the light but hates their brother or sister are in darkness until now” and “how can anyone claim to love God who they cannot see and hate their brother or sister who can they can see?”
My friends I am not trying to be tough, but rather trying to communicate that I understand that the need to forgive is often a hard pill to swallow. I won’t make light of it because it is a heavy subject for those struggling with it. However, if we don’t swallow the pill of forgiveness, we will choke on the poison of resentment–a sure prescription for becoming part of the problem by contaminating the solution Love offers.
Said in Love.
