Today I forgive all those who have ever offended me. I give my love to all thirsty hearts, both to those who love me and to those who do not love me.

~Paramahansa Yogananda

In time we come to understand that the forgiving heart is the peaceful heart, and we always have the choice to be "right" or to be peaceful.

Forgiveness and love are partners on our path to genuine self-love and self-acceptance, and thus peace. Peace - or serenity - is our goal and is guaranteed to us each moment that we forget ourselves and shine the light of our love on others.

To not forgive, whatever the offense, pulls the shade on God's light. When we harbor ill feelings toward others, we become stuck in the darkness of old ideas, ideas that won't let us experience the growth, peace, and well-being promised us.

When we forgive, we are freed. When we love, we are nurtured. What we bestow on others is returned by God a hundredfold.

Today I will express love through forgiveness and I will feel God's love in return.

Today's reading is from the book In God's Care: Daily Meditations on Spirituality in Recovery*
