When I think about forgiveness. True forgiveness. It brings tears to my eyes. For all the shame and guilt that you feel when you know you were wrong, when you hurt someone or cause pain to someone you love - it's an amazing experience to be forgiven. To have someone say "it's okay. I forgive you. I love you. I trust you again. No worries!" That's huge. That takes all the burden off , but it should not feel like a free ticket to do it again should it? We know the pain and consequence now so we change our ways, we learn, we grow. We love deeper and better through the experience of forgiveness.
Thank you Lord for forgiving me , for allowing forgiveness from others towards me and for teaching me how to truly forgive.
