About Me

My photo
I am a pastor and a clinical psychotherapist. My life's passion is defining healthiness from a human perspective and paralleling it to the holiness of God, divine perspective. Shifting perspectives creates a paradigm that is alongside of rather than over and against. The parakalein of God and the paradoxes of humanity are redefined. Humanity is all about winning and yet we are losing ground everywhere. Divinity is all about letting go of the desire to win and the fear of loss. The Divine embraces the world with loving care regardless of anything.

Forgiveness

Posted by Don Paine

Forgiveness is internal and eternal.

I do not have to forgive anyone because I cannot but I do have to let go of the burden of unforgiveness and the belief that I "have to" or "can" forgive anyone. Then I can work on my "open heart" while simultaneously protecting my open heart form closing down or inviting more hurt, anger or shame.

I am forgiven, and forgiving of all my internal hurt, angry, and blaming parts.

Can you forgive you, for all the times that you let someone else's voice that has been put into you life overwhelm you and become burdened by that voice be it a shaming, blaming, judging, or score keeping?  Can you listen to a new voice of compassion and care that is the real you, caring for you?
