Forgiveness.
Who are we to even look to God for forgiveness, when in our daily lives it seems such a difficult task to forgive others? For every wrong done to us, we have done twice more against God. How can we even think to not forgive someone when God does not think twice in forgiving us?
It is important to find forgiveness in your heart for all wrongs you have done and all those you perceive to have been done to you, then make your peace. Does this mean you actually have to go to the other person and ask for and give forgiveness? Jesus says we do. If for some reason this is not possible, then you should start by allowing the forgiveness you have in your heart to heal you. As you do this, you will see how important it is to try to, somehow, make your peace with the other person to allow them to heal, also.
There is nothing more humbling than to ask for forgiveness, and to give forgiveness can feel compassionately humbling, too. Through a deliberate act of love, find forgiveness in your heart each day, for yourself and others. Do not let the negativity of wrongs accumulate. Be at peace with God, yourself, and everyone.
PTL
Luke 6: 27-28, 36-38
"Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you; bless those who curse you and pray for those who maltreat you."
"Be compassionate as your Father is compassionate. Do not judge and you will not be judged. Do not condemn and you will not be condemned, pardon and you shall be pardoned. Give and it shall be given to you."
