Sometimes the smallest things are enough. But whether great or small, we cannot show love in a passive way. We must be proactive in our love. Love is something we do. One important action in love is forgiveness.
Forgiveness speaks volumes about our Christian walk.
In the days of the American Revolutionary War there lived at Ephrata, Pennsylvania, a Baptist pastor by the name of Peter Miller who enjoyed the friendship of General Washington. One day Michael Wittman was involved in treason and was arrested and sentenced to death. The old preacher started out on foot and walked the whole seventy miles to Philadelphia to plead for this man's life. He was admitted into Washington's presence and at once begged for the life of the traitor. That puts the matter in a different light.
