Forgiving God, Yourself, and Others: Finding Healing, Peace, and Spiritual Freedom

 

Sunrise through clouds representing divine forgiveness and renewal.


Forgiving God, Yourself, and Others: The Path to True Freedom

   When you forgive God and forgive yourself, forgiving others becomes easier.

"For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Parent will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your heavenly Parent forgive your trespasses." – Matthew 6:14

   When we forgive the Source of all life and extend that same grace to ourselves, forgiveness toward others flows more naturally. Forgiveness is the sacred act of releasing and letting go of thoughts, words, and actions that fall short of love’s highest standard. Many people quietly harbor anger toward the Divine due to feelings of abandonment or unanswered prayers. Yet holding onto this pain can block authentic worship and a true connection with God, who calls us to worship in spirit and in truth.

   Firstly, forgive the Source for the pain of any abuse mental, emotional, physical, or sexual. Release those burdens, for carrying resentment only limits growth and peace.

   Secondly, forgive the Source for natural events hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. Releasing anger about these occurrences opens the heart to healing and deeper understanding.

   Thirdly, forgive the Source for the loss of loved ones through death. While grief and anger may arise, choosing forgiveness restores peace and renews trust in divine timing.

   Additionally, forgive the Source for prayers that seem unanswered and prophecies yet unfulfilled. Letting go of these grievances paves the way for renewed faith, serenity, and inner strength.

   As we release these burdens, we align with compassion, understanding, and the higher purpose that leads to an abundant and eternal life. Forgiveness is not weakness, it is spiritual freedom in motion.

📖 Reflection: Are there areas in your life where you’ve silently held anger toward God or yourself that need forgiveness today?

💡 Action Step: Take a few moments in quiet prayer to name what you’re ready to release. Speak forgiveness aloud and invite divine peace to fill your heart.

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
