Have You Ever Experienced Real Love - And Have You Offered It?

Would You Support The Idea Of A Forgiving Heart?

I would like to talk a bit about that unconditional love; you know the kind where we are forgiven for the nonsensical, irrational, selfish things we do. And those certain things we think of as being unforgivable. Sitting around with a couple of friends in the lounge area at a social club, this subject came up, and I'd like to know what your thoughts are on the matter.

Usually, you find this special forgiveness from our Lord, and from your family. You may even be lucky enough to receive this same forgiveness, or maybe a very similar forgiveness from your significant other, life mate or even a life long friend.

The Creator, of all things, has placed this gift, for being so selfless, in all of our hearts. However, not all of us are as forgiving. It's been said that all we need to do in order to bring it to the forefront of our hearts; is to fight really, really hard to let go and let God come in and soften our heart; but is it really that easy? We all need and hope to be forgiven for the wrong that we do, and the hurt that we could cause people we love. Even if we cause harm to folks that we may never ever meet, if we are remorseful, we'd hope to be forgiven.

You see, hurt and pain seems to have a rippling effect once the hurt has been set in motion. At times, we aren't able to take back what we say or do. We have the regret or sometimes even arrogance to watch the harm we cause build and fester until it has run its course, and hope after all that, that everyone can find it in their heart to forgive us.

Is This Something That You Could Relate To?

Have you ever done something that no one knew about; but you could feel how much it would hurt others if they knew what you had done or caused to happen? Would you expect or wish to be forgiven for that thing if and when it was brought to the light? How about doing a thing that only one other person knew, you did or caused, and they said that they would never tell a living soul, and would take it to the grave with them. How would that remembrance eat away at you as the guilt of your deed made you feel paranoid as to whether that person would be able to keep your secret.

Now wouldn't you always feel on pins and needles, wondering just how trustworthy this persons word is, or if they could even hold your secret for a second. Would or could they hold this thing over your head to get you to do their bidding for that secret they are holding about your misdeed?

Actually, as far as I'm concerned, I would tell on myself first before this person could have a slip of the lip. I'd tell the truth on myself and hope to be forgiven by whomever I caused the hurt to. This is the way I've always been taught; and in order to have a certain amount of control over how secret got; just tell it yourself.

So, I can appreciate the gift of forgiveness and the people who allow themselves to forgive, no matter how painful it is for them.

How forgiving are you? And, just what things do you find unforgivable?
