Having forgiven others, you must be prepared to forgive yourself too, for to refuse to forgive oneself is only spiritual pride. And by that sin fell the angels. Such things sink into the memory where they usually cause inflamed and festering wounds, and there is only one remedy - they are to be plucked out and thrown away. And the one and only way to do that is by forgiveness. Of course, nothing in all the world is easier than to forgive people who have not hurt us very much.
Nothing is easier than to rise above the thought of a trifliing loss.
Anybody will be willing to do this, but what the Law of Being requires of us is that we forgive not only these trifles, but the very things that are so hard to forgive that at first it seems impossible to do it at all. That thing meant too much to me. It is impossible. I cannot forgive. But the Lord's Prayer makes our own forgiveness from God, which means our escape from guilt and limitation, dependant upon just this very thing.
