Divine love heals me as it flows from me.
As a child, I learned skills and adopted habits that continue to be of great value to me as an adult. Saying "thank you," I express my appreciation of others.
I know the surest way to make a friend is to be one.
I understand that saying "I'm sorry" and accepting another's apology are acts of love that bless the giver as much as the receiver.
By forgiving, I'm not accepting or excusing the negative behavior of myself or others. I am offering us another chance to do better in our relationship.
I let the love of Christ within me come forward, and I share this blessing with others.
The love within my heart heals me as it flows out to others as words and acts of forgiveness.

"Then came Peter to him, and said, 'Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?'

Jesus saith unto him, 'I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.' "--Matthew 18:21-22 (KJV)
