I’m thinking about forgiveness again, a topic that I figure will come up from time to time for the rest of my life. After all, it appears in all faith traditions, and is central to Christianity. Why would I be exempt?
Here’s my latest vignette, which, as I write, seems so foolish and trivial. But hurt feelings are hurt feelings, and I was feeling hurt. In summary, I was hurt that someone didn’t responded to an email I sent, and so I started making up bad reasons why they didn’t. Their bad, of course.
“But wait a minute,” I told myself. “Stop making all that up; stop blaming. Talk to the person, or let it go. But whatever you do, forgive yourself for not looking and seeing through a God lens.
