September 23, 2009 - Forgiveness

[James C. McClure]

Forgiveness is an essential part of recovery; forgiveness from God, forgiveness of others, forgiveness of ourselves. We also need to forgive God - that’s right...forgive God! Some of us want to blame others, including God, for our hurt, hang-up or habit. Forgiving will allow us to let go of our anger, bitterness and resentment. Therefore, we need to forgive others and God. However, God does not need or require forgiveness from us. He is perfect. The forgiveness is for our own well being. What freedom there is in forgiveness from the heart.
