From The Lord’s Prayer: “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those
who trespass against us.”
Notice, the prayer has us ask forgiveness for our sins before we judge and forgive others.
Even if we hide our faults from others, they are not hidden from our
Creator. They remain a tarnish on our spirit.
It is only from holding onto the position of our ego that we want to be
right and the other wrong.
Forget that. We all need forgiveness at times in life and do not want
others to relish our shortcomings.
The reason being that none of us can cast the first stone, no one is perfect.
How to make amends?
By quietly forgiving as we would wish to be quietly forgiven; some
examples are face to face, phone call, email, in a letter. It is especially
important to forgive those closest to us such as family and friends, because
they are most affected by us emotionally and perhaps daily.
Again: “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass
against us.” For example, do not say to another: “I forgive my spouse for ….”
Remember that no one is perfect so the sin should not be mentioned.
Either first thing in the morning or before sleep,
say The Lord’s Prayer and really mean it.
We polish our soul when we forgive an injustice to us. Someday when needed
the favor could be returned.
Ask the Lord to forgive your
sins.
In turn forgive others’ sins.
But do not tell others about
sins that are not your own.
This also goes back to the old
adage:
If you can’t say something nice, say
nothing at all.
