What is the role of forgiveness in spiritual growth?
FORGIVE
Release my resentments
the anger within
the weight of the bitter
the burden of sinThe guilt and the shame
like stones on my chest
I lay them all down
and put them to restNo thoughts of revenge
no grip of control
I open my hands
and tend to my soulLet love be my mission
compassion my guide
I stand in the mirror
and set down my prideMy soul now unburdened
makes room to repair
to welcome the light
to breathe in new airTo truly be free
to wake and to live
I open my heart
I choose to forgive
