IN THE SILENCE

If I try to forgive out of my own strength and ask God to forgive, as well, I find I cannot. Secretly, I am hoping to heap coals of fire on their heads, praying that God will avenge me.

Only when I reach beyond and become aware of my oneness with God, knowing that I cannot be separated from Him no matter what happens, and that He loves me eternally, can I forgive and know the forgiveness is real and in God’s hands, as I am.
