Releasing Resentment; Awakening my Spirit

“Decide to forgive, for resentment is negative. Resentment is poisonous. Resentment diminishes and devours the self. Be the first to forgive, to smile and take the first step, and you will see happiness bloom on the face of your brother or sister. Be always the first.  Do not wait for others to forgive, for by forgiving, you become the master of fate, the fashioner of life, a doer of miracles. To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness. – Robert Muller, from his Laureate acceptance speech, The United Nations
Affirmative prayer: “Today, I am made new by releasing the resentment I’ve held for so long, or for even a day. I take a deep breath and feel all the love of the Universe in my heart and soul, and in the soul of the one who injured me. I let it go, and awaken my spirit to the goodness of this life, thankful that now I rejoin the grace of its beauty. Thank you, God, forever. Amen” – Rev. Scott
