Forgiveness not a one time thing…

Every time you remember, forgive again

Forgiveness is not a one time thing. You will choose it repeatedly, over and over again—even if the offence and sin happened years ago. So it’s good to be reminded that every time you remember, choose to forgive again. For your freedom, joy, and peace. Don’t allow bitterness and pride to be planted and grow in your heart. Surrender it quickly…

I have found this to be particularly true. Just when I thought I’d moved past certain hurts and/or betrayals, the old feelings would rear up again. As a matter of fact, after sort of graduating from 3+ years of intensive, individual and group therapy, I find myself back in “the work” again. I went about ten years feeling good, managing on my own. Then my mother died, left a messy and hurtful will situation, and sent me into a fresh tail spin. I hit the wall and knew I couldn’t go it alone. And thank God. My therapist is my hero. The compassion, kindness and cathartic exercises are nothing short of miraculous, and deeply spiritual actually. Just sayin’ :) Hugs and good luck. XO
