Forgiveness...the very act of forgiving. I still have a hard climb over my ego trying to embrace just the word "forgive." It sounds sanctimonious to me. Holier than thou. Yet the majority of my prayers for (that which I preach about not doing, i.e., praying for) is a prayer for forgiveness of myself...for not forgiving.
The only thing in this world that keeps me from forgiving is my unwillingness to change my mind. Just on the basis of how it
sounds, I keep me wrapped up in self, pondering.
See why we're advised not to analyze? Until we're willing to seek and accept another's help (which we belatedly realize as seeking God), the only thing self-analyzation leads to is more self-analyzation.
To forgive without thought...ah, there's the grail.
Thank you.
