First ill like to
start out with a quote that my teacher gave me that I really liked!
Life becomes easier when we learn to accept an apology we never got. –
Robert Brault, Laws of Modern Man
So what is forgiveness to me? Well from the top of my head,
I really had to do some soul searching for this answer. I believe forgiveness
is when you have reached a certain point when someone has done you wrong and
you have a sense of peace. Through my own experiences, I tend not to forgive
people until I feel a sense of peace with that person. It’s more like an “I guess
we are ok now” feeling.
What is difficult to forgive? There are certain situations where
it’s hard for me to forgive. God has forgiven me for everything I have done,
but when it comes time for me to do that I can’t help but say “I’m sorry but I’m
not God.” The big thing in my mind that I find hard to forgive is when someone
breaks my trust. Trust is a big issue for me. So if you don’t have my trust
then we have a problem.
What offenses do you find easier to forgive? The small
things of course like those everyday mistakes we don’t mean to do to one
another. A bigger thing I find easy to forgive is when something is done wrong
to me by a person, but soon after without me having to say anything and they
know that they did wrong. They at that point already are trying to make their
amends. A perfect example for me was when I had an old classmate of an steal
something that belonged to me. By mistake they lost it, after seeing how losing
something that was dear to me, they quickly confessed and offered to replaced
it. Situations like that make forgiveness a whole lot easier.
Well that’s it for
today, wishing you all a great Friday tomorrow, Night!
