Is it that easy to forgive anyone???🤔
I hope it is quite tough to forgive anybody who has committed a mistake. Even intensively if a person has committed something against your wish & will, it is all the more tougher to forgive that particular person, even unto the point of death.
What actually makes a human to react in such a way?
I wonder if you are a human, you have to react to what is against you. But Jesus says something that is opposite to the above. Jesus says to forgive, "Not seven times, but, seventy- seven times. (Mt 18:22)
Oh My God.... How is this possible... It means I should forgive a person until I die....?
Yes, my dear Brethren.
Forgiveness is what makes a human divine. Jesus died as a human on the cross but the very moment He forgave the people who put him into death His resurrection was made possible. It is sure that the last breath of Forgiveness of Jesus is the point of convergence of His divinity and our humanity.
What big deal we're gonna make out by not forgiving a person??? 🤔🤔🤔
Practically nothing.
Forgiveness arises in various ways. I try my best to figure the ways in which Forgiveness can be accomplished.
We forgive a person on any of the following criteria.
1. Forgiving - When the virility of sin is less
2. Forgiving - When you love that person
3. Forgiving - When the person commits the sin for the first time.
4. Forgiving - When the person really regret for his fault.
5. Forgiving - When the person is not aware of his mistake.
6. Forgiving - When the person is much younger than you.
7. Forgiving - When a person is known of his/her sins yet does not know how to come out.
But Jesus' Forgiveness surpasses all these. Jesus wants us to forgive just UNCONDITIONALLY.
He wants us to forgive a person not because he/she commits a small sins or you love that person or only if the person regrets bla bla bla...
But just he/she is a human. Because humanness is hidden in Forgiveness.
St. Augustine would beautifully say “Forgiveness is the remission of sins. For it is by this that what has been lost, and was found, is saved from being lost again.”
God gave us two invaluable things to live life fully.
1. Freedom to Choose the right
2. Forgiveness to do the right.
Let us freely choose Forgiveness as the armour of God to fight the evil of vengeance.
Let's Pray:
O Lord who shed blood for my sins, make me drop my tears for to forgive until I drop blood. Amen.
