I was on the road most of this week and did hear something of special interest. Mostly because it is something quite obvious.
Have you ever heard people who will say that God has forgiven them but they cannot forgive themselves? That obviously means that they have a higher standard than God. If God has forgiven then we also should forgive. Either ourselves or others.
What is forgiven? We tend to think the answer is sin. What about sorrows? What about successes from the past? If we dwell on forgiven sin, sorrows, and successes we cannot have joy today. And we may go to an early grave.
I'm still meditating on all of this.
