Meditation on Forgiveness

In the privacy of my chamber,
in the silence of morning
or evening,
I contemplate forgiveness
and ask my Lord to forgive me.

Kintsugi: A Poem

I am 

A broken piece of pottery 

That the Beloved has repaired 

With the gold 

Of the forgiveness 

Of my sins. 

Meditation Monday: Prayer, Meditation, Forgiveness

Kamál (Perfection), 6 Asmá’ (Names), 171 BE - Monday, August 25, 2014 about 6:26 am Pacific Daylight Time

I deepen my experience of God through prayer, meditation, and forgiveness.

Marianne Williamson

I discovered that beautiful quote on the Psychology Today website in an article by Stephanie Sarkis, Ph.D. titled Here, There, and Everywhere, which was published on June 8, 2012.

That quote inspired me to write the following poem.
I empty my mind,
I intone God's Most Great Name,
and then read the quote.

Mind and spirit calmed
I feel the words echoing
my spirit's bird song.

I forgive myself,
and I forgive others too:
inhale forgiveness.

I breathe in and out
meditation's exercise:
exhale forgiveness.

I intone God's praise
reciting revealed prayers:
faith's tranquility.

Inspirational Quote of the Week: Forgiveness a gift

"Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself." ~ Suzanne Somers

I have found that eventually forgiveness one learns that forgiveness has more to do with personal peace of mind and soul then anything else. Holding onto bitterness and hatred only poisons a person’s soul and keeps the wound open and bleeding.

I am 65, when I was younger, I held onto the “wound”. I picked at the scab covering it and all that did was cause that wound to bleed and become infected. I finally decided not to pick at my wound or perhaps I should say wounds. It was difficulty, but through prayer, meditation, and journaling I finally learned to let go.

I do not intend to go into what caused my wounds in this entry or in any other. That is between God, my journal, and me. It would do no good to go into what caused the wound. I know why I could not forgive, because I could not let go and place the situation in God’s hands. I was not happy. I did not have peace of mind.

Once I put the situation into God’s hands, forgave, and got on with my life. Peace of mind followed, I could relax and enjoy myself. I was happy again. I had given a gift to both my mind and my soul.
