Forgive
The presence of love in me heals and restores my soul.

I know I am only hurting myself when I am unforgiving. Yet even if I want to forgive, I may find it difficult. If I am unsure whether I have the strength to move forward, I bring to mind a simple truth: I am not only human; I am also divine. I can call upon the spirit of God in me for help in releasing the burden of unforgiveness.

The moment I turn to God, Divine Love begins its work supporting me on my journey to freedom and wholeness. As I forgive myself with compassion and understanding and release any feelings of guilt, I am able to extend the same to others. I set myself free and release others to God. I am healed by the power of love in me.
Let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.–1 John 4:7

Went to the Guelph Bible Conference with my two sisters. The topic was the Lord's Prayer. It was my amend to my sisters and to my God. I went home and took communion, then left the church and haven't been back except on special occasions. I know I can go there and be comfortable, the people there, don't always understand me. I love the music and what the minister said, I referenced it to the Big Book and my recovery journey. It seemed like my God was too big to be confined in Church, I found the concept very limiting. With limited thinking and a closed mind, I missed out on a lot of His blessing and teachings.

I know that if I have a void in my life, I have no problems going to church if that is what I need. For the most part, church is man made, so many beliefs and so many formalities and so many Gods, called by so many different names.

For me, God is the God of my understanding and He reveals Himself to me each day. This is a one day at a time program. His Gift of Healing has kept me alive to share His many blessings and care for each and every one of us. He forgives me my humanness although I had trouble forgiving myself.
