That is our mission. Forgiving is our mission in life. We are sent into the world to overcome evil by forgiveness. Such an attitude would not be a confrontation with evil, but a bowing to it. God entrusts us with a great gift.
Overcoming evil depends upon our willingness to forgive.
We can forgive, or we can refuse to forgive. God will accept our decision. Of course, if we refuse to forgive, refuse to confront sin with the power of God, we may need some forgiveness ourselves for desertion in the face of God's and our enemy, evil. Perhaps this week we can practice a bit by actually forgiving some hurt we have received, even if it go back to our own messy-room childhood. All Rights Reserved.
