The whole being, when the law of forgiveness is satisfied, draws new life and strength and power from the one divine source and throws off the old.
- Cora Dedrick Fillmore
How can I forgive a hurt so deep that even the passing of years has not dimmed its effect upon me? I begin by turning the entire situation over to God. God knows my pain, and God knows how to help me release the past so that the pain will also go away.
God is my strength, and with God, I have the courage to release the past. I am now fully in this moment, this time of new opportunity and achievement. And I begin to understand that every experience has led me to where I am right now.
So I am able to forgive. And I feel such relief that I wonder why I carried any unforgiveness around with me. I feel lighthearted and ready to move on.
I release the past and forgive.
