Forgiveness

forgiveness:
1: compassionate feelings that support a willingness to forgive
2: the act of excusing a mistake or offense.

In the dictionary, this word is referred to as a noun. I find this interesting. It is most definately a verb!

I believe it's not until we learn how to practice what true forgiveness is, that we can even come close to understanding why and how God forgave us. Forgiving someone is so out of character for a human being and yet it's so much the very essence of what God is all about. It goes against everything we feel and it's like going through a dark cave at times but there is light and life on the other side. Forgivness is a journey for humans but God does it all at once. He's just greater than we are and so He gets right to the point. It's takes us alot more time because in order for us to forgive, we have to give up and humble ourselves.

Letting go is the hardest thing we'll ever do in our lives.
