Choose Forgiveness Forgiveness is a choice. Our beliefs can keep us from forgiving. When our pain becomes too much suffering we realize that the only person we are hurting by not forgiving is ourselves. Workshops, books, meditation and our willingness to let go can invite Forgiveness into our lives. Often the person we need most to forgive is ourselves.	I am a minister today because I forgave God. Of course, God didn't need my forgiveness. When my grandfather died I was 9 and all the adults kept saying, "It was God's will." This was not the kind of God I could believe in. During a process in a training session at the Hendricks Body Centered Transformation Institute I came in touch with my anger at God for taking my beloved Grandfather. Forgiving God and the resulting healing cleared the way for me to become a minister.
