Forgive:
"I forgive and experience joy - now!" (DW, 6.11.09)
"And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors." (Mat. 6.12)
Mei Meditatio:
In forgiveness there is freedom, there is excellent liberation. Bottling up negative emotions, grudges, resentments, and feelings of revenge are detrimental to my spiritual and physical well-being. However, when I set my volition on releasing these hurtful, painful feelings to God my mental, emotional, and physical being responds to my intention and I prosper.
Forgiveness includes both others as well as myself. As I forgive others and myself, I experience heavy, weighty burdens being lifted up off my shoulders and I become free. As I forgive I am participating in the steadfast, sacrificial love of Christ, which liberates me from fear, anger, guilt, and ignorance -- I experience the redemptive joy of salvation!
In the name and through the power of Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior. Amen.
