Forgive - Today's Daily Word

I am living in full awareness of God's love.

Complaining takes me down the path of a consciousness of lack and negativity. Choosing forgiveness takes me down the path to positive, affirmative experiences.

By inviting the love of God to guide me, I avoid the burden that comes from holding a grudge or making someone a scapegoat for something that has happened. In the awareness of God's love, I release the trivial upsets and events that might otherwise build day after day to huge proportions.

As I develop the practice of forgiveness, the tendency to complain naturally diminishes, and my world becomes brighter. Forgiveness becomes my normal way of relating to others and to myself. I am living in full awareness of God's love.

"Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive."--Colossians 3:13
