I Forgive Everyone

What indeed is there to forgive? I behold the Christ in everyone. I know that each one is an expression of the Spirit of God. Each human is growing, developing, and seeking to demonstrate in this world the ultimate truth of being. So what if they stumble? What if they fail for a moment or a season or a lifetime?

The journey has not ended because a step is missed. The divine plan for each of us will prevail. God must have all of us come ultimately into the full awareness of our noble character. I know this truth; therefore, I do not dwell on the passing hurt I may have received form another's act.

Today, I focus my attention on what I am. I concentrate on my true identity as a maturing expression of God. I grant to all others the right to mature at their pace. And, to everyone to whom I thought I had to forgive, I simply say:
"Namaskar! The Christ in me beholds the Christ in you."
Now, all is made well. All is released.

Peter: How oft shall I forgive?
Jesus: Until seventy times seven.
Matt. 18:21,22
