Our forgiveness must be given. No one earns it - or deserves it, any more that we deserve theirs. But few of us can give any greater gift than forgiveness. Think what happiness could be brought to those who would only forgive. I did not say "receive forgiveness," but "forgive."
Forgiveness is a gift, sovereignly bestowed to be humbly received. Then both giver and gift are blessed.
Let's give - and receive graciously - forgiveness.
by George E. Failing "With Open Face, 1983."
