Perhaps you know someone who never
misses an opportunity to retell the story of some past injustice, real or
imagined perpetrated against them, Morbid Reflection on full display. If they
are close to us (family), we have heard the tale so many times we know it by
heart. These tales attempt to justify (at least to the teller) why they haven’t
or can’t and never put behind them some incident in their lives, usually
finishing the tale with a note of satisfaction in their voice. The truth is however
when we hold on to past injustices and hurts, for any reason, we shut ourselves off from the sunlight of the
Spirit. If we are to be free, we must set free all who have harmed us,
leaving their final disposition to their demonstration before God, getting us
out of the resentment business. To be clear: there are those who have committed
grievous acts beyond the pale and they will reap as they have sown, but
harboring hurt and hate in our heart stunts our
growth and limits our demonstrations
and forgiving does not mean forgetting. Living on the Spiritual Basis requires
us to forgive but it is does not mean we ever have to place ourselves in a
position to be harmed by them again.
So, we forgive all who have harmed us, setting them and ourselves free. If for some reason they do appear in our life or they are someone whom because of family or some other reason we will have to face, we ask in prayer to be shown the way of patience, kindness, tolerance and love toward them and to be kept safe and free of new resentments when in their presence. By saluting the Presence of God within them and releasing them you will be amazed by the results. Any and all hate, condemnation and resentment binds us in self, so, to state a Great Teaching once again: simple but not easy, a price has to be paid and that price is the surrendering of self.
