Forgive
“To stop feeling angry or resentful toward someone or self for an offense, flaw or mistake”
Wow, how many times do I go through that routine in a day!
sometimes I find it hard to forgive myself, it’s a battle,
should I, can I, is that within my being?
Then I think about God and His willingness to forgive me, over and over.
This prelude to the Gospel summed it up best:
Joel 2:12-13, “Even now, says the Lord, “Return to me with your whole heart
for I am gracious and merciful”
and from Matthew 6: 14-15 ,“if you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive you your transgressions”
I love this short quote by Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta
“If we really want to love, we must first learn how to forgive”
Father, help me to be obedient and forgive others and myself.
