Commitment, the acid test of forgiveness

Forgiveness may be considered simply in terms of the person who forgives including forgiving themselves, in terms of the person forgiven or in terms of the relationship between the forgiver and the person forgiven.

If you have truly forgiven someone, you will remember the incident, but will no longer feel the sting or hurt.This is the acid test of forgiveness. You must meet it psychologically and spiritual. Otherwise you are simple deceiving yourself. You are not practicing the art of true forgiveness.

To Understand All Is to Forgive All

Once you understand the creative law of your own mind, you stop blaming other people and conditions for making or marring your life. You realize that your own thoughts and feelings create your destiny. Furthermore, you are aware that externals are not the causes and conditioners of your life and your experiences. To think that others can mar your happiness, that you are the football of a cruel fate, that you must oppose and fight others for a living-all these ideas reveal their destructive nature once you understand that thoughts are things.
This principle is clearly set forth in the Bible:
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he. (Proverbs 23:7; King James)
The Power of Your Subconscious Mind
Rev. Joseph Murphy

I was reminded of that today. I received an email: “If only we … If only you … “.
The reality is “What is IS”
No pain, no shame, no regrets.
Commitment
Although it's not always easy,
this is part of loving someone
unconditionally
with all your heart and
with all you have to give!

It's a promise that should last a lifetime.

It
describes you as a person
and
describes the essence of your soul.

It's a promise to be there,
one for the other,
no matter what happens,
no matter who falls.

For better or for worse.

For better
or
for worse.
