The Act Of Forgiveness

Mortal as we are, turn to sin against God every single day, this is undoubtedly evident in our thoughts, our actions and our utterances. As kind and loving as he is, he always forgives us, so why is it so tough for us to forgive our fellow man? If we are truly created in the image of God, then this presuppose that forgiveness should by default be part of our nature, yet we find it very difficult to live in accordance to that which form an integral part of our existence 

We are all born as innocent into the world, none of us has the power to control the forces that blow by blow, chip, dent and strip our innocence away from us. We are all born with the power of choice, how we fill these cracks and dents is up to us. Disappointments can feel so much alive in us in the form of anger and malice, and if we sink low enough, we can become blind to the pain we inflict on others. That notwithstanding, we can also choose to take another road, and no matter the brutality we need, or our dark nights of dismay, we can choose to listen to a different voice. A voice that makes us who we are, a voice that is so clear that repetition of a sentence will be a total waste of time, a voice that is forgiveness in itself......this is the voice of God. Just like our inner consciousness, a little attention to this voice will leave its contents flowing through us in a form of anything, but malice. Take a second and ponder on his words, you will come to a realization that forgiveness after all is not a big issue. There is nothing more powerful than the act of forgiveness.
