Demonstrating Forgiveness

The forgiving state of mind is a magnetic power for attracting good.

Catherine Ponder

          To demonstrate is to practically apply something.  Forgiveness is about releasing negative energy that can take you hostage.   Forgiveness means looking at our judgments and being willing to let them go in exchange for having peace of mind.  It is not about condoning anyone’s behavior.  It is not about letting people off the hook for misguided thinking or actions.  It is about being present and releasing people and events that cause us mental and emotional upheaval.

          The Hebrew word for forgiveness translates to 'drop it'.  Some of us carry our pain like a badge of honor.  It is how we identify who we are.  Who might you be without the blame and anger that keeps you connected to people and events that hurt you?

          I believe that absent the baggage of an unforgiving heart, you would be free to show up fully in every situation.  Without the baggage we carry around, all of us could be present to shine the light of our divinity in ways that would transform this planet.  I stand with you this day as you move into a place of choosing to drop anything that does not support the grace-filled life that you came here to express.

          So today, release everyone and everything that is not supporting your divine nature.  One of my quotes, “it is not about the situation, but how YOU deal with the situation that is important."
