Forgiveness is the Greatest Expression of Love

Forgiveness is the greatest expression of Love ( A course in Miracles)

When we forgive we let go in ourselves those faults we see in others. The act of forgiving brings us to the present and makes us whole again. It releases us from the past where the ego resides with all of its baggage of sin and guilt. Why? Because when we judge and think thoughts of revenge, bitterness, anger and hatred we are dwelling in the past. We can only really escape this illusion when we let go and forgive. To let go removes a huge weight from our shoulders. We no longer suffer the pain and illness that can easily result from the negative emotions of residing in the past. We become whole and at one with the eternal now.

In the stillness of now we experience love, peace and beauty. These are the things we truly are and to them time is an alien concept. When we live in the moment we drop the baggage of the past and live life anew. The concepts of age and time are shattered! We are literally born again!

The inability to 'let go' through forgiveness of others or even ourselves is without doubt the greatest cause of suffering in our lives. It is so important to understand this! Our lives will completely turn around when we master 'letting go' through forgiveness. Here is a wonderful book called The Sedona Method. It's a practical book dealing with the release of negative emotions.

The present of forgiveness is giving up the past.
