Reflections 4/18/2020: As I continue my trek through “The Forgiveness Project” book, the journey took me to a place that demands humility for the forgiveness progress to continue. Acknowledging that I am not perfect and am as capable of hurting others as the person who offended me. A million “but, but, buts” danced through my head as I tried to argue with this truth in light of the dastardly offense. Oh, I get it in theory, and can acknowledge it as such, but owning deeply my own brokenness and hurtfulness in real-time has been more of a challenge! But as I have, these other blooms of “kindness, acceptance and empathy” have blossomed as well! How should I expect God to forgive me when I refuse to forgive others? The more I am aware of just HOW MUCH He has forgiven me for, the more motivated I am to pass that same grace along to others. Humility? Maybe just honesty! And heart transformation!
