Forgiveness

The debt you cannot pay, and the one you will not hold

Forgiveness is not pretending the wound did not happen. It is refusing to make the other person pay a price Jesus already paid.

Reflection

We forgive because we have been forgiven a larger sum. That does not make it easy. It makes it possible, and it keeps bitterness from becoming a second home.

Practice. Pray one honest good for someone who owes you. You do not have to feel it yet.
