CONFESSION #515
I OFTEN DO THINGS THAT OTHERS WOULD DISAPPROVE OF
… but I don’t make a big thing out of it,
… I don’t make someone else wrong because of it,
… I don’t get other people to agree with me before I do it,
… I don’t get involved in conversations about it and
… I don’t FIGHT to get it.
Fighting for my rights keep the very things I don’t want active.
Peace is an inner journey, and one I choose to take quietly, gently and privately as often as I can.
~ 500 Confessions BOOK 1
I UNDERSTAND THE EFFECTS OF FORGIVENESS …
You don’t forgive someone because THEY need it. They usually don’t give a rats what you think!
You forgive someone because YOU need it. You need to live with a full heart, not a heavy one. You need to forget the problems of the past, not take the pain of it along with you. You need to remember your own freedom to focus on what makes you happy, not blame someone else for how you’re feeling.
Forgiveness doesn’t help others in any way at all … But it helps you live more closely to the essence of the loving, non-judgmental, peaceful hearted, empowered creator you really are!
And now I know, that if I never judged anyone in the first place, forgiveness wouldn’t even be necessary. ~ CONFESSION #940
