I remember being so full of hate for someone that I ran movies in my head about committing violence against them. My hate produced envy, spite, and rage. Now I have learned through the Twelve Steps that I can and must forgive for my own mental health. And if I am unable to forgive, I can pray for my adversary. As long as I allow the hate to dominate my thoughts, that hate is running my life, and there is no opportunity for my Higher Power to enter.
May I remember today to pray for those who I find hard to love.
Today I will practice forgiveness.
