June 22 - The minute we think about a twisted or broken relationship
with another person, our emotions go on the defensive. To avoid looking
at the wrongs we've done another, we resentfully focus on the wrong he
or she has done us. With a sense of triumph, we seize upon his or her
slightest misbehavior as the perfect excuse for minimizing or forgetting
our own. We have to remember that we're not the only ones plagued by
sick emotions. Often, we're really dealing with fellow sufferers,
including those whose woes we've increased.
If I'm about to ask forgiveness for myself, why shouldn't I forgive the other person too?
Today I Pray - When I blame or fault-find, may my Higher Power tell me
to look under the rug for my own feeling of guilt, which I have neatly
swept under it. May I recognize these behavior clues for what they
really are.
Today I Will Remember - Resentment, inside-out, is guilt.
