We must do the prep work for God's will to be done in our lives. -- long ago blinding flash of the obvious.
For too long I believed that we could forgive nothing, that only God could do forgiveness...which I still believe. But that's the end of the process of forgiving...the beginning of the process starts with serious preparation on our part.
For instance, God does not do our forgiving without we first prepare our self, i.e., become willing to forgive which in its initial form is pretty much just wanting to, wanting to forgive because we hurt too much to hold on.
Until we become willing, which is a far cry from just wanting to, we cannot surrender all of our resistance (become entirely ready). The instant we are ready, God moves through us, forgiving all concerned...the other and anyone on the periphery and our own self.
We must give up, give over, give in to win. Only then can we realize that winning is nothing...we give in to love.
Thank you.
