“The Pathway to Love is Forgiveness”

August 22, 2009 · 1 Comment

This is a quote by Louise Hay.  Sorry, I don’t have the source, but I think it is from somewhere on her website: http://www.louisehay.com/

What does this mean?  What can be gleaned from it?

It means that forgiveness leads to love.

It means that love is achieved via forgiveness.

If you want to love, search your heart and see who or what you can forgive.  If you want to be loved, to attract love, do the same.

Forgiveness is not simply a one-time act, but is rather a pathway that one must choose to walk.  It is a chosen Way of being, of living, that ultimately leads to love.

Could it be true that the greater and more all-encompassing our forgiveness is, the greater and more all-encompassing our love can be?  And is this a healthy, reasonable goal?  Is there a benefit to oneself, and to the world, if we can find a way to increase our ability to love and forgive?

What do you make of this quote?  What are your impressions or insights when you read it?  Does it create a feeling of resistence within you?  Let’s explore it together!
