Welcome. I'm glad you're here to take a few minutes for yourself to pause, to listen, to let some words speak to your soul. Today, let's focus upon the three most powerful words, perhaps that you can ever speak. Words that are life giving. Those words are, I forgive you. When we say I forgive you. Something happens deep within our hearts.

There's a surge of love and energy that flows through us releasing all the negativity that's built up over life. Let's admit it, we're all hurt. In our lives, people say things about us, they misunderstand us, they speak harsh words towards us, or they give us the silent treatment and we mess up too. We don't always do it perfectly in our lives, but when we stop and.

Simply say, I forgive you. We enter into a new state of being. We grow into our true self. If you think about it, when Jesus was on the cross, one of his last words were, father, forgive them. He didn't argue about who was right or wrong. He didn't try to defend himself or argue the facts. He simply said, father, forgive them.

I suppose, in the Garden of Gethsemane, perhaps Jesus even had to forgive himself. He might have been in the Garden of Gethsemane talking to his dad, saying, dad, I messed up. I was supposed to come down here and transform the world, teach them how to live unconditional love. And yeah, some people got it, but now they're gonna kill me.

I suppose there was a sense that the human part of Jesus, how to forgive himself first before he could forgive others. And isn't that part of the journey for each one of us to begin with? We need to have the humility to say, I forgive you to ourselves, because we don't always get it right. And when we begin to say, I forgive myself, it opens up that space within our hearts where we're able to forgive others.

Not arguing the facts, not getting caught up in who's right or wrong, but simply. I forgive you. So today I invite you to really ponder those words, the most powerful words, perhaps the most life-changing words that you can say to yourself and to others who have wronged you. I forgive you, it's hard. It takes courage.

But it's the invitation to grow into who we are. We are the divine love of God in human form. Our true essence is love. And when we can forgive ourselves and forgive others, we awaken to who we truly are. Thank you for. Opening your heart and considering these three simple words, I forgive you. May they change you and perhaps change the world and a small and powerful way.

God bless. Stay in the flow. The flow of divine love until next time.
