Forgiveness

Madonna’s current MDNA Tour has her nightly featuring an ever changing back tattoo, making a political or social statement, as only Madonna can do. One such tattoo is this image here:

Simple, universal and to the point, isn’t it? Required by each one of us and challenging? Oh, you bet! Forgiveness: it seems to be a part of our daily lives. We’re either choosing not to forgive, struggling to forgive, need forgiveness or have come to a place in our lives where forgiveness has been reached. But it is, nevertheless, a part of our life’s landscape. Sooner or later, we will come up against the issue. And it’s a spiritual issue, directly affecting our relationship with God. "For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." Matthew 6:14-15 Could it be that our struggling and pain is connected to that forgiveness issue? Where do we stand on it? Look at your life today. Where does forgiveness come into play? Do you need to forgive yourself concerning something? Choose it today; it’s a choice, not a feeling. But forgiveness is worth it!
