More From Robert Green Ingersoll

How many times should you forgive your household bruiser? you should not even think about forgiving him. not yet. not as long as he has his foot on your neck. your problem at this point is not forgiving. your problem is how to get out of his reach. once you get away from him, you can think about forgiving him.
Forgiveness Thinking Feet
God invented forgiving as a remedy for a past that not even he could change and not even he could forget. his way of forgiving is the model for our forgiving.
Forgiveness Past Forgiving
What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.

Forgiving is love's toughest work, and love's biggest risk. if you twist it into something it was never meant to be, it can make you a doormat or an insufferable manipulator. forgiving seems almost unnatural. our sense of fairness tells us people should pay for the wrong they do. but forgiving is love's power to break nature's rule.

Forgiving does not usually happen at once. it is a process, sometimes a long one, especially when it comes to wounds gouged deep. and we must expect some lapses...some people seem to manage to finish off forgiving in one swoop of the heart. but when they do, you can bet they are forgiving flesh wounds. deeper cuts take more time and can use a second coat.
Forgiveness Time Heart

It is a hard thing to let go of mistakes we've made and sins. god wants us to do that because he knows the guilt and the condemnation will keep us from becoming who he has created us to be. salvation and christ's love is a gift. you don't earn it. you've got to receive that gift. i think one of the most important things is starting off the day forgiving others and forgiving yourself. you learn from your mistakes, but i don't think you have to drag them back into today.
Forgiveness Letting Go Mistake
To be a christian means to forgive the inexcusable because god has forgiven the inexcusable in you.
