I doubt not that forgiveness is so difficult for us not only to do but to want to do because we have not a clue what forgiveness means to us personally.
Letting go of a justified resentment comes easily to mind, but that very ease brings the reason for the resentment, then the justification...and forgive? No way, not in this lifetime, follows.
Our material mind tells us what forgiveness should feel like...warm, wonderful and just a tish superior. Which is the clue that the root of the problem is the material mind.
I am convinced that forgiveness cannot be done by self-will or want-to alone...they may be "Santa's little helpers," but we must go beyond the reasoning mind. Beyond our self-will and want-to. As in, "Deliver all those giftees all over the world in one night? Can't be done." Except by a power greater than ourself. Go to bed, go to sleep, wake up...giftees! All our own!
When we become as a little child, on faith alone Christ is born, Santa flies, and Christmas comes to our heart, our soul, our body and our brain. With forgiveness the lead Dog.
Thank you.
