FORGIVING AND LOVING
FORGIVING AND LOVING
Forgiveness starts with you and with me. Expiating oneself of blame unburdens one's heart, mind, soul.
Forgiving oneself renews one's spirit, self-confidence in oneself.
Forgiving oneself also bestows the courage in us to forgive others for the past transgressions committed against us. Self-forgiveness is the predicate for forgiveness of others.
Even as self-love precedes all other loves, forgiving and loving begin with you, with me; they then spread abroad to seed the earth, universe.
