Act Of Self-Kindness

The old law of "an eye for an eye"
leaves everybody blind.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Forgiving can also help me take back my power.
As long as I believe that someone else's actions are the cause of my present difficulties, I am powerless to change.
Letting go of blame allows me to take responsibility for my life.
All this adds up to a single point.
Forgiveness is an act of self-kindness.
It liberates my life force.
It completes the past.
I can choose now to heal my old unfinished business.
It is time to let go of the pain.
I can place my hurt on an altar and surrender it to God.
Set myself and others free.
