Forgiven, Therefore, I Forgive

The offender's indifference to the 'gift of forgiveness given', Need not deter the offended one from the need to forgive. Forgiveness is a duality freedom that brakes the chains of both. Forgiveness should give birth to delightfulness and gratitude. But there are those who cannot readily discern their own lack Of forgiving others. Like the unforgiving servant in the Biblical Text, they require and compel the debts owed to them and forget the massive debt forgiven them that they could never pay.* May the power of God's forgiveness to me empower me to forgive. May we learn to descend in purity without a trace of condescension. May we descend to the lowest pits so that all may find freedom May words such as these flow from the depths of our hearts: 8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 "I stumbled in the darkness without the light, but I had no right. I must ascend and take the high road of the narrow road. I was wrong, period. Please do not hold it against me? I'm sorry; I blew it; my bad; no ifs, ands, or buts. I must come to terms with our impasse. Please find it in your heart to forgive me. I was so blind that I crossed the line. I have no excuse; I am to blame." 052621PSCtest, Forgiveness, Unseeking Seeker
