Scars don t heal and emotional scars never quit hurting. Whatever it was you did, you knew it, and you wished bitterly that you had not. That is what I thought. Well, since we are not immune from soul injury, what we need is soul salve. It should contain gentle oils to keep the outer tissues of our wounded spirits pliable enough to prevent cracking and scarring and an active ingredient to promote healing from deep within to replace our burned and wounded skin with new, pink baby fresh undamaged skin.
Forgiveness is soul salve.
It is available only through Jesus Christ. And it has a very active ingredient. The Greek word, forgive properly translated in the New Testament is far from passive. It literally mans, to hurl, to send off, to release. Forgiveness is an active process, and Jesus says to do it endlessly.
