Forgiveness

What is Forgiveness?

Here is a great example. In the picture below, the man on the left, armed with machete, hacked to pieces the woman on the right’s baby child. This was during what we know as the ‘Rwandan Genocide’. What is forgiveness?.. it is the woman on the right, who has since that terrible event, chosen to forgive the man on the left, and they are now reconciled and friends.

This for most would be an almost impossible – if not impossible task out of ones own strength, yet she has somehow, obviously with God’s power she managed to do the impossible and forgive, and just as important as healing his heart, at least in part enabled the healing of herself. With man things are impossible, but with God just as the Bible says, all things are indeed possible.

Resentment and un-forgiveness will in the end manifest itself in depression and even physical sickness if it allowed to fester for too long in the un-forgiver. So I hope this short true story inspires anyone harbouring grudges or resentment to give it to God and be healed.
