Day ten
Forgiveness is the path
to peace
“Miracles are natural. When they do not occur
something has gone wrong.” T-1.1.6:1-2
The most natural thing is to be at peace and at
one with God because that is our natural inheritance. When we do not experience
this something has gone wrong.
In Unitarian Universalism we covenant together
to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person. This
affirmation and promotion is the most natural thing in the world. When this
affirmation and promotion of the inherent worth and dignity of every person is
not apparent and does not exist something has gone wrong.
When we feel angry, frustrated, resentful,
fearful, like a victim, we become aware of a forgiveness opportunity and we are
able to choose to give up making other people and things unhappy for our
unhappiness.
If we are feeling unhappy something has gone
wrong and it is not with external events, it is with our choice in how we are
responding to those external events. When we are unhappy, it is a good time to
pray that the Spirit help us give up making the things of the ego world
responsible for our unhappiness. In this giving up of making other people
people and things responsible for our unhappiness we no longer are choosing to
be a victim and we become aware of the peace that comes with our awareness of
being One with God.
Remember today, that you are never upset for the
reason you think and that peace and joy arise when we realize that there is a
better way.
