Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a virtue learnt through Patience and Pain.

An essential part of our character,

if we claim any link to the divine

It is the factor which proves our closeness and semblance to God

Yet it is the most neglected attribute in human relationship

We expect others to be perfect while we aren't any better

Take pleasure in holding wrongs against others cos

According to us, "They should have known better"

It's said that bitterness is a poison

yet we take pleasure in expressing much anger and strife

Do you know that for every time you are bitter,

You fill your system with toxins

which its detoxification process takes hours if not days?

I believe that the command to forgive,

like every command from God, is for our own good

For the skeptics

I believe you know and can recite the Lord's Prayer

Therefore you are aware of this Line

"Forgive us our TRESPASSES (Plural)....... How.....

as we forgive those who TRESPASS (Singular) against us"

we hold peoples trespass against them

while we TRESPASSES against God (foolishness of man)

Every time you ask God for Forgiveness

He checks your log of offenders

And forgives you likewise

Think back at the wonderful friends you lost over trivial issues

Relationships wasted over frivolities

Marriages ended over petty occurrences

Imagine how your life would have been better

if you forgave that friend

We are human, imperfect beings and unstable in Nature.

For some of us we strive towards perfection

Others just relax and let life take its natural course

But in the end

No one is Perfect

We all slip, at one time or the other .........and

Beg God for forgiveness

So

Unless you don't need God's Forgiveness,

Learn to Forgive
