Forgiveness

Someone said, “To err is human, to forgive divine.” It’s just one of those things you’ve heard for years. We always think about it in relationship to the fact that we mess up and God forgives.

What I see clearly now, is that while we are quite adept at foolish and sinful behavior, we are not so good, poor in fact, at forgiveness. God has given us the incredible power to forgive one another. There can’t be any question in our minds that it is a most useful gift. But we choose not to exercise that power with reckless abandon.

I think we ought to! I know we need to!
