Forgiveness

Forgiveness is one of the most significant gifts I know. When forgiveness is applied without conditions or deals, it is large and full of hope. It can bring joy to the forgiver and to the forgiven.

Someone has done you harm. You go to them and simply forgive them. No grudge. No payment. No memory. What do you think? Why carry the extra baggage of someone's debt to you? Give it a try.

God desires to forgive us for every sin we're responsible for. He means it. Go for it.

Mark 11:25 (NIV)
25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."

Forgiveness is something I fail to do again and again.

Sometimes it can result in angry words. Well, then forgiveness is definately in order.

So, forgiveness it is, Jim.
