True forgiveness recognizes what you thought your brother or sister has done to you has not occurred. It does not pardon sins and make them real. It sees that there was no sin.
When you forgive your brother or sister, you are the one that will experience Peace. This is because you are only forgiving yourself.
When we understand that there is only one of us, how we regard others becomes critically important. How you see your brother or sister is how you see yourself. They are merely a reflection of you. There are only two choices. To see yourself as sinless or as condemned. Choose again and remember.
