When cleaning out some files I came across an old Daily Word inspiration - it's such sound advice
I wanted to share it with you...
Releasing the past, I embrace a new way of life.
On the cross, Jesus prepared HImself for new life by releasing the past, and that release began with
forgiveness. Even in the appearance of death, Jesus prayed for those who persecuted HIm, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do."
Whatever I may be going through, I understand there is a new experience of life waiting for me. I, too, can grow into an awareness of new possibilities by releasing the past and forgiving those who appear to have caused me pain.
I forgive anyone whose actions or inactions have affected me negatively. I forgive myself and release false beliefs about how things could have been. In the depths of my being, I forgive, knowing that with this release I embrace a new way of life.
Have you been kind and forgiving with yourself? If you would like to share your experience with forgiveness please comment below.
