| Forgive with a meek heart... |
|
| |
| wow, what an awesome time we had at church tonight! our teacher preached about forgiveness... a topic which is old news. but she gave us just a total new perspective on it. we know forgiveness as telling someone "i forgive you" and then saying that you set him free. but still one builds a wall around one's heart, sort of saying: "yeah, i forgive you, but i'll never let you close to my heart again..." God's idea is totally different. He asks of us to forgive and - as He does - not to build a wall around our hearts, uncovering our hearts to allow people to come close again... to walk over it again, if they choose to do it. trusting again, be honest again and commit again. even for your enemies. in fact He asks of us to forgive and pray for them. if we do not do that, we're assosiated with the pagans. (mat5:43-48) Thus, God asks of us to forgive and let our hearts be meek again for the person who's forgiven. |
