Grace of forgiveness

“He who cannot forgive another breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself.” George Herbert.

We have come almost to the end of our studies on “What’s so amazing about grace?” This morning I decided to play again the DVD the first five lessons just to refresh the memory. Very touching indeed to listen once more to the testimonies of grace filled Christians who healed relationships.

Forgiveness is an unnatural act. Grace is the opposite of gravity. Grace lifts one up, gravity pulls one down. Philip Yancy said: “I know of nothing harder than forgiveness, and also nothing more urgent.”

Lewis Smedes wrote: “When you forgive:

1. Your surrender your right to get even.

2. You give your enemy’s humanity back.

3. You get the freedom to wish that person well.

4. You are willing to be open to what God wills.

It’s lovely to share fellowship every Friday morning at our home. We learn from God’s word and from each other. We thank God for these good people who have been such a blessing to us.

After lunch I took Bus No. 171 and spent time at Tecman's Book store. It's most relaxing to browse through the books. I ended up with another Study Bible. It's on offer and defintely worth the price.
