Can I Forgive the Unforgivable?

When Jesus was being scourged, He was paying the sin-price for the one whipping Him.

When Jesus was condemned, He was knowingly paying the sin-price for His condemners.

When Jesus was betrayed by His friend and follower Judas, He was lovingly and forgivingly paying the sin-price for his fallen friend.

When Jesus was dying, His Words were of love and forgiveness for His executioners, and for condemned criminals who had ruined both their lives and the lives of their victims and their families.
He was paying the sin-price for the devastation they caused.

Jesus came to save all, because we are all in need of mercy.
So; as God has forgiven us our mistakes and faults,
so too let us learn this hard lesson of forgiveness for others.

The hardest thing to do it to forgive another who knowingly, deliberately set out to destroy and hurt you.

To truly be like Jesus, is to forgive the unforgivable, and not to seek revenge.
Then we begin to reflect the truly Divine within our souls.

This is a hard lesson, and not one easy to learn.
Is there anyone you cannot forgive today?
Take the first step, and open your heart to God to ask Him to help you on the path to forgiveness.

Forgiveness does not mean that you won't hurt inside.
Forgiveness does not mean that the scar and disability you received during your attack will ever go away.
Forgiveness does not mean that your money which was stolen and left you in penury will come back.
Forgiveness does not mean that the suffering in your life caused by another's negative actions will not still be as real.

Forgiveness means that eventually through practice you will be able to let go of the bitterness.
Forgiveness means that you will be able to deal with the negative results of the undeserved suffering you are going through, without becoming embittered or destroyed by the pain.
Forgiveness means that one day you will be able to reclaim your peace of mind, heart and soul again without the terrible anguish of feeling that has been caused by other's injustice to you.
Forgiveness means that you can pray for the perpetrator of the misdeed that fell unjustly upon you, and pray to call down the Grace of God upon them that they may receive the grace and insight they personally need to step from the path of personal spiritual destruction they are on. 
This is called the power of intercession for others.

May blessings be yours as you take your first steps on the path of forgiveness.
Truly God will be with you, his heir, as you decide to forgive as He did.
