Luke 23:34 of the Scriptures, expressed this truth clearly: 
“Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.”
Grateful am I for that divine plea of my Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ
for erring sinners like me.  
What a compassionate supplication of a supreme God!
Such exemplifies how it is to reach-out to someone 
who offended, angered and hurt me in the God-entrusted ministries 
I'm a part of as a volunteer care-giver and life-builder.

Here am I humbled, humiliated, helped, and hoisted
in the exercise of genuine forgiveness required by the holy Pardoner.
Yes, I’m humbled as I admit my inability 
to forgive absolutely, readily and completely
…the street child who called me a “fool” 
while I was teaching him with my utmost best;
…the orphaned boy who would steal and lie about it, 
despite being provided with his needs;
…the abandoned teen who reported me as a tyrant tormentor, 
when in fact he was given a gentle discipline 
packed with cheer-filled clemency;
…the arrogant pupil who disrespectfully accused me 
as a lousy instructor, embarrassing me. 

Indeed, I’m humiliated as the Lord reveals to me 
my hypocrisy, half-heartedness, and haughtiness 
in granting forgiveness along faith's fervor.
Thus, with the Holy Spirit’s conviction and power, 
I confess my iniquities while persevering to overcome and forsake them.
Now, I’m helped in my desire to forgive with graciousness 
based on the God’s imparted love to me,
bearing in mind Ephesians 4:32, 
“…forgiving one another, even as God
for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”

Praising the Lord, I’m hoisted by God’s mercy 
in seeking for His forgiveness for my very own sins
while worshipfully acknowledging His admonition
asserted by His Word in I John 1:9:
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, 
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
