Forgiveness as a Lifelong Practice

Martha’s approach to forgiveness is deeply rooted in her commitment to daily practice. She believes that forgiveness is not a one-time event but an ongoing process of releasing grievances, resentments, and judgments that keep us trapped in the past. Each day presents us with opportunities to forgive, whether it’s forgiving ourselves for our perceived shortcomings or extending forgiveness to others for their actions.

Martha emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and mindfulness in this process. She encourages individuals to start each day with a conscious intention to forgive and to remain attentive to the separating thoughts and emotions that arise throughout the day. For her, forgiveness is an act of self-liberation, a way to free oneself from the emotional burdens that hinder growth and happiness.Rev. Dr. Martha Creek —
