“Healing others by using their offenses as a means of expressing to them Christ’s love.”
A powerful statement. Much deeper and more intentional. My prayer is that God puts that kind of forgiveness in me because it’s not naturally there.

Indeed! This is one that I hesitate to want to pray for because the opportunities God gives me to practice will involve me taking some extra hits. But then I remember that God wastes nothing and the knocks are likely to chip off crusty edges that need to be removed anyway, so it is ALL in the best interest of my character!

I have prayed at times “Lord I’m willing to take one for the team but could you find a substitute player once in awhile? Then He usually reminds me that I’m the sub so quit whining.

I think forgiveness and flexibility is so vital. It reminds us that we are all human and we all make mistakes and it’s not our job to judge others. Letting go is so hard but it’s better for us and kind of frees us from the burden of carrying that anger and hurt around.

Such great insight, Pooja! Thanks for that. And you’re so right – when we let go, we realize that we are the ones who benefit most. 🙂 Blessings to you!
