Jesus said,
"That is how My Heavenly Father
will deal with you unless you each
forgive your brother from your heart."
Matthew
10:1
The heart and mind are given to
the children of man to understand
and progress the world in which
they live by making them the home
of Our love. And as Our love is
invited into the centre and periphery
of the soul, so does it orientate
the mind and flood the heart for
right thinking and generous, purposeful
action.
And the forgiving heart is one
of the signs of Our Presence and
activity. As each child of Our love
disposes himself to receive that
which will complete and perfect
his redeemed, sanctified humanity,
so does he enable himself to react
constructively to the progress of
others in the Way, and Our love
will minister through him. Not that
he has yet reached that perfection,
but each loving act, every gesture
of forgiving love, is a sign of
progress in the Way. He who freely
and lovingly forgives another for
hurt or harm suffered benefits himself
besides the forgiven one and the
Father's Kingdom.
Then let the mind inform the heart
in a way of forgiving love, the
heart command the mind to unreserved
forgiveness.
