More From Max Lucado

They say that when god was in jerusalem he forgave his murderers, but now he will not forgive an honest man for differing with him on the subject of the trinity. they say that god says to me, "forgive your enemies." i say, "i do;" but he says, "i will damn mine." god should be consistent. if he wants me to forgive my enemies he should forgive his. i am asked to forgive enemies who can hurt me. god is only asked to forgive enemies who cannot hurt him. he certainly ought to be as generous as he asks us to be.

Forgiveness is an act of creation. you can choose from many ways to do it. you can forgive for now, forgive till then, forgive till the next time, forgive but give no more chances it’s a whole new game if there is another incident. you can give one more chance, give several more chances, give many chances, give chances only if. you can forgive part, all, or half of the offense. you can devise a blanket of forgiveness. you decide

I worry about fast forgivers. they tend to forgive quickly in order to avoid their pain. or they forgive fast in order to get an advantage over the people they forgive. and their instant forgiving only makes things worse... people who have been wronged badly and wounded deeply should give themselves time and space before they forgive... there is a right moment to forgive. we cannot predict it in advance; we can only get ourselves ready for it when it arrives... don't do it quickly, but don't wait too long.
Forgiveness Pain Order
Forgive yourself for not being the richest, the thinnest, the tallest, the one with the best hair. forgive yourself for not being the most successful, the cutest or the one with the fastest time. forgive yourself for not winning every round. forgive yourself for being afraid. but don’t let yourself off the hook, never forgive yourself, for not caring or not trying.
Successful Caring Winning
Success is a learnable skill. you can learn to succeed at anything. if you want to be a great golfer, you can learn how to do it. if you want to be a great piano player, you can learn how to do it. if you want to be truly happy, you can learn how to do it. if you want to be rich, you can learn how to do it. it doesn't matter where you are right now. it doesn't matter where you're starting from. what matters is that you are willing to learn.

And there, right in the middle of it, i find 'forgive us our sins as we forgive those that sin against us.' there is no slightest suggestion that we are offered forgiveness on any other terms. it is made perfectly clear that if we do not forgive we shall not be forgiven.

That's a wonderful side effect of leather pants: when you pee yourself in them, they're more forgiving than jeans.

I have a lot of trouble forgiving myself for being so dumb... but yes, of course, the big generous compassionate view that you should take of yourself and of all events is: what a glorious circus train this has been, and what a wonderful messy parade, and all of those steps took me here, where i precisely need to be now, so god bless it.
Views Dumb Forgiving
Wherever we go we do harm, forgiving ourselves as wheels do cement for wearing each other out. we set this house on fire, forgetting that we live within. (from "to a meadowlark," for m.l. smoker)
