I have forgiven him. Have you?

1. Allowing the Holy Spirit to take care of the future by releasing the fear and guilt through True Forgiveness, allows Him to clean up the attachment and trauma.

“Rest in the hammock and let the past go so the future can become a place of cooperation.”

This sums up my understanding of an article I just read from a prominent A Course in Miracles student/teacher.

I disagree with the direction of that teaching. It places too much power in the hands of you and me and skirts over anything that the Holy Spirit will do.

We NEED the Holy Spirit.

We need His direction and guidance and vision. We actually need His “eyes” because ours do not work at all when it comes to seeing who we truly are and what we are doing to ourselves.

True Forgiveness is “one and done” but we must work to REMEMBER that; like the hummingbird that needs to continue to flap its wings while it is collecting the nectar from the flower.
