Forgiveness—such an abused, over-used underrated word that takes a second to utter, but takes
almost a lifetime to do.
Because even when JUST the memory of that offense done
to us suddenly comes back again, we can't help but suddenly feel exactly the
pain we've felt before.
We end up broken. We end up bitter.
And to us, the
world seems so unfair because it's not even our fault. It's like picking up the
pieces of the mess someone else made.
When Ptr. John
Macadangdang talked about 'The Power of Forgiveness' last Sunday, I sat there
thinking to myself: So is it really
possible to forgive? How can forgiveness restore whatever has been ruined? How are
we sure that we have already forgiven the person when the pain of the offense
done still hurts the same?
