Those dark nights of the soul...those, too, we come to love.
It is in those dark hours, when we are begging God's forgiveness, that we first awaken to the need within us to be released of our self-protective wrap, to forgive in a word. I contend that it is the need to upgrade (forgive?) our thoughts that forms the path to forgiveness...of self and others.
Ego will always dictate...sometimes just a tish, sometimes entirely...that others are the real reason we did less-than-wonderful in the first place. That's ego's job. Ah, but our job is to turn from ego to God.
As we seek God's forgiveness, our very desire extends, embracing our remembrances, our memories of others, those people and events that we have been regretting...and blaming.
That dark night of the soul has become the channel we pass through to become forgiving...of self and of others.
It is in forgiving that we are forgiven.
Thank you.
