Walking the Way of Forgiveness

Any unforgiveness is hanging on to guilt. One of the ego’s principal defenses against guilt is to project it on another. One way I have observed doing this is in attempting to correct a brother. I tell myself that I’m just being helpful in trying to teach my brother a better way. But when I step back and ask Holy Spirit for His vision, I often am shown that I was really just attempting to make my brother guilty.

As I let the Holy Spirit guide me to be truly helpful, I often realize that what I thought needed to be corrected in my brother was a reflection of a mistaken thought I needed to correct in my own mind. As I accept the Holy Spirit’s loving correction, I may see that nothing need be said to my brother or I may be guided to say something. But it will not be motivated by guilt but instead be an extension of Love. For this to happen, I must have first accepted forgiveness for myself. Thus I am willing to receive Holy Spirit’s guidance instead of the ego’s attempt to hurl guilt.

Today my practice is to let Holy Spirit guide all my thoughts, to pay attention to what is Love and what is a call for Love in another or myself; to ask of everything, “What is this for?” With Holy Spirit’s help, I will walk the way of forgiveness today.
