There are times, where we deal with other people's wounds, hurts and walls that are not pleasant. We are tempted to allow the worse in others, to bring out the worse in us. Our egos, focus on the attack and justifies our feelings of outrage and self-rightness.
The Course says, you can be right or you can be happy. This is so true! We can choose to disarm our ego, and self-rightness and choose to be happy. This takes forgiveness. Forgiveness is not saying the other is right. In fact forgiveness has nothing to do with rightness. Forgiveness is disarming an offense of ant power to influence or control your life. I choose to be happy and release the offense, and not allow your actions to have power over my life.
I choose Love! Love for you, and love for myself. I choose to live my life free from the dictates of ego, and instead I choose Life, the Life that God has prepared for us. I will not allow you or anything to block me from this life and the happiness it brings and I will not allow myself to be a block for you!
I pray that we are released from the power of own egos and that we walk into the fullness of Life that God has prepared for us. May we forgive those who trespass against us and may we forgive our own trespasses. May we choose Love and happiness over our egos desire to justify and declare its rightness.
