Often, we deny that we have done anything that requires forgiveness. Nothing scares a human being more than the acknowledgment of wrongdoing. We have been convinced that to commit a wrong is bad. Who wants to be bad? You get spanked for being bad. You can get hurt for being bad. Some of us even believe that if you are bad enough, you cannot be forgiven.
The truth is, the things we call wrong or bad are actually our cries for correction. The way to correction is through the acknowledgment of the truth. The way the Spirit of love and life corrects the spirit of human beings is through forgiveness.
When you are willing to acknowledge that you can do better, you become willing to admit to yourself those things for which you need to be forgiven.
Until today, you may have resisted acknowledging those things about you which you know require some correction. Just for today, acknowledge them to yourself. Forgive yourself for them. Then, ask forgiveness from anyone else who may have been involved.
