Forgiveness

There can be nothing that is not forgiven. The worst thing that was ever done to you, the truly unforgivable thing- that is what He requires us to forgive. This is not easy and it takes some work. Keep in mind that “forgiveness” is not “excusing” someone. It means looking squarely at the most horrible thing, the MOST inexcusable, the truly worst sin committed against you, and gently whispering “I forgive”. We must do this because He has looked at our sins - the worst ones, the ones we know we could never mention or bring to him in the light- the unpardonable, inexcusable ones- and He has forgiven them.
