It is often easier to get forgiveness than permission. I heard that for the first time when a conversation was related to me.

I come across the word forgiveness quite a bit lately.

I picked up a publication not long ago and there it was even written,”It is often easier to get forgiveness than permission.” Is it really? A couple of days ago somebody talked to me about forgiveness. Apparently it is difficult for anybody to forgive.

I was once really thirsty and so I can talk about thirst. (I have heard it said that if you have never been thirsty, you cannot really talk about thirst.) I have never been seriously wronged like some people have, so I cannot really talk about forgiveness.

But I know somebody who does not seem to have any trouble forgiving. It is really good to have fellowship with people like that. You can learn from them and eventually you become like them.

The Bible says in Colossians 3:13 “Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”

Let us forgive one another as the Lord forgave us. LET US BECOME LIKE THE LORD!

P.S.: Matthew 6:14,15
