Just me trying to be honest with God.

“To err is human; to forgive, divine." - Alexander Pope

The thing about forgiveness is that we must forgive even though we do not feel like it. Indeed, we often feel vengeful rather than forgiving. But forgiveness is not a feeling. It is an action that says I will not treat you as you deserve, but with kindness. We are never more like God than when we forgive. This is probably because He is the one graciously working it in us.  “Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” Conversations Within” ts 10/6/2015
