Why do we resist life? Oh, wait, did I say that we resist life? Yep, I did. This morning, I was thinking about a blog topic and resistance ran through my mind and then other topics tried to crowd it out. Then I came into my office and picked up the book I use for my morning inspiration - the topic was Resistance. I had to laugh because at some level, I had resisted writing about resistance. Naturally, that got me to thinking about how I push back, defy, obstruct, impede, hinder my own good. (And, yes, I do love my thesaurus.) |

Forgiveness is so very simple. What’s not simple is the getting there. I just did an search on Amazon.com for books with the word forgiveness in the title. There were over five thousand hits. I take this as proof of two things.
The first is that most of us have a strong misconception of what forgiveness really means. The second is that there are a whole lot of people making money by writing books based on this misconception. I can’t do anything about the second situation but I can try to explain a different idea about forgiveness and let you take it from there. It seems that many people think that forgiveness equals approval. In other words, there is this idea that forgiving someone means that you are saying that person’s actions were OK, that they did nothing wrong. |
