God, if I forget you, please do not forget me.

I wanted to take a moment to share with you these beautiful words from Gandhi.  It is a small reminder to love and forgive others but most importantly, forgive yourself for we are only human.  And no matter what, never forget that God is there with you...

God, help me to tell the truth to the strong and to avoid telling lies to get the weak’s applause.  If you give me fortune, do not take away my reason.  If you give me success, do not take away my humility.  If you give me humility, do not take away my dignity.  God, help me to see the other side of the medal.  Don’t let me blame others of treason just because they don’t like me.  God, teach me to love people as I love myself and to judge me as I judge others.  Please, don’t let me be proud if I succeed, or fall in despair if I fail.  Remind me that failure is the experience that precedes triumph.  Teach me that forgiving is the most important in the strong and that revenge is the most primitive sign in the weak.  If you take away my success, let me keep my strength to succeed from failure.  If I fail people, give me courage to apologize and if people fail me, give me the courage to forgive them.  God, if I forget you, please do not forget me.
