Forgiveness
Sunday, October 26th, 2008We have been told that forgiveness is one major step to happiness. Let me explain how that works.
We hear so much about forgiveness, in our churches, on Oprah,
in new age magazines, but do we truly understand what the big deal about forgiveness
is? We read that if we forgive others and ourselves we are doing our spiritual
work and becoming better people, but what does that mean to us? You can forgive
that guy you dated a while back until you run into him someplace and then you
want to wreak revenge on him. You can forgive your parents for your horrible
childhood but as soon as you get on the phone with your Dad you are arguing
just like you always have. So, what good is forgiveness anyway?
