Rising Above the Resentment

“Forgiveness has deeper rewards than excusing someone for how they hurt us. The deeper healing comes in exchanging our resentments for inner freedom. At last, the wound, even if never acknowledged by the other person, can heal, and our life continues.” – Mark Nepo,The Book of Awakening
Affirmative prayer: “Infinite Presence, today I let go of the resentment that has kept me imprisoned. I forgive, not condone. I rise above the hostility, and regain the lightness that was dimmed by my unforgiveness. I live in joy, as the Divine has intended. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.” – Rev. Scott
