another word on Forgiveness

Again, ammended from the Moment for Meditation line:

Remember with deep gratitude that God's grace is free. God's forgiveness is free, so it is not right for us to charge others for it. Its not right to require anyone to do something or even say something before we forgive them.

If we can be purposeful in the way that we make sure that those who wrong us know they are forgiven, that it's okay, that we are not holding a grudge. If we could do that, we would be free of resentments, free of the burden of grudges, free of the need to be right, and free to be content and happy.

Forgive as God forgives with no requrements.

  1. I thought forgiveness from God requires a contrite heart.
