Inspired by..
and Ephesians 4:31-32
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Seventy seven times this how much Jesus wants us to forgive... but how can we forgive if the hurt or pain they caused us is: a six feet under the ground depth a hammer-like cyclic stigma of shame a freezing fire agonizing the heart and mind? Tears spill from the eyes to drench or lessen the pain yet, to some who aren't relieved they chose to taste death rather than pursuing life. . . Offering the olive branch of friendship, kindness and forgiveness though it seems, hard to do so this to invite peace amidst chaos and misery caused by ill deeds. And if in a way, it is not returned is forgetting a better option? or should one keep trying-- for persistence a way to win restoration...? Forgiving is one of the famous battles we humans face day by day as it is between the head and heart that sometimes these two even is in clash. Anger, pain and pride halt us from forgiving yet, will we choose to sleep in these be confined and contained in these when there is a better choice to let go and forgive? _______________________________________ 1:00 pm, February 19, 2015
