Forgiveness is love in action!!
The essential ingredient in the art of forgiveness is the
willingness to forgive. If you sincerely desire to forgive the other, you are
more than halfway over the hurdle. Of course you understand that to forgive
another does not necessarily mean that you like him or want to associate with
him or her. You cannot be compelled to like someone. That would be as if the government
tried to legislate goodwill, love, peace, or tolerance. You are not going to
like a person simply because someone orders you to do so. However - - and this
is a crucial point—we can love people without liking them.
The Bible says, Love ye one another. Impossible as
this may sound at first, anyone can do it who really wants to do it. Love means
that you wish for the other’s health, happiness, peace, joy and all the
blessings of life. There is only one prerequisite, and that is sincerity. You are
not being magnanimous when you forgive, you are really being selfish, because
what you wish for the other, you are actually wishing for yourself. The reason
is that you are thinking it and you are feeling it.as you think and feel, so
are you. Could anything be simpler than that?
