Hello, this is Reverend John Adams, minister of Golden Key Ministry Unity, a worldwide prayer ministry by mail and the internet. I’ve been helping people through prayer, inspiration, and positive ideas for over 45 years and I love what I do. Open your mind to the ideas I share with you here and put them to work in your life.
Let’s talk about forgiveness. Forgiveness is the golden key to freedom. If you could really know how important this is, you would always quickly and completely forgive everything and everybody who could possibly need to be forgiven by you – including yourself. Granted, it is not always easy to do, but it is most essential to your peace of mind and freedom.
The reason for not forgiving may be a long held habit of resentment. A man who had a habit of attracting people whom he could resent seemed to go out of his way to find them. If someone offended him, and he was offended easily, he would put them on his resentment list. This was not a list he had written down, but one he kept in his mind.
It was years before he realized he had the list and how detrimental it was to his health, prosperity, and peace of mind. Fortunately, he realized how damaging this was and determined to change, he made a conscious effort to free himself from all resentment. No longer did he allow himself the pleasure of feeling anger or resentment toward anyone.
He began the forgiveness process in which he allowed to come to mind every person, thing and experience he believed had offended him.
Prayerfully, he released every hateful, unforgiving thought and feeling about himself. In their place, he put love and gave a lot of time and energy to affirming and accepting love.
Love worked miracles for him. Now it is impossible for him to be offended by anyone. He immediately forgives them and sends them love. He is a very loving man and those who know him agree.
Some people carry resentments for years. They may not think they resent anyone and have no need to forgive. But bitter, resentful, unforgiving thoughts and feelings may be tucked away deep inside, so they are not much of a bother. Nevertheless, those old bitter feelings can still destroy happiness, peace of mind, and health. And they will keep them from prospering too.
Sometimes someone will resent another person for something done years before and go on thinking that the person they resent is still the same. But often the other person has changed. I call this shadow resentment. The person who is unforgiving resents a shadow that doesn’t really exist and that is wasted energy.
Through love and prayer, you have the power to forgive and be free. These are your golden keys to true happiness, peace of mind, good health and prosperity. This is the truth that sets you free. Go for it with all your heart.
