Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit
Lyn Johnson, licensed minister, share on this Mother’s Day gathering. Today we looked at the unconditionally loving act of true Forgiveness. Forgiveness is the only remedy for the pervasive feelings of loss, fear and shame that accompany our experience in this ego world. Forgiveness happens when I look at my thoughts and recognize they are not the Thoughts God would have me think. Forgiveness heals the belief in inequality by showing that it is not possible for God to have created anything other than perfection. Forgiveness shows me that there is no order of difficulty in miracles. Forgiveness is a habit that will replace the habits of the ego thought system. That is our salvation. .
