THREE WORDS

A meditation based upon Psalm 32

You are forgiven

or

I forgive you

Three simple words that can change your life

that is, if you’re the recipient of those words

To receive them, you must, first, confess

Confession requires three words from you

I am sorry

If you keep your confession to yourself,

your bones will dry up

you won’t be able to sleep

day after day, it will haunt you

Confession requires trust

Trust in the Divine to honor your words

or

Trust in the person, whom you’ve offended, to honor your words

Confession and trust, both require practice

But, accepting the forgiveness is a blessing

you simply have to be open to receive it
