There are two sides to forgiveness; giving and receiving. Although at first sight giving seems to be harder, it often appears that we are not able to offer forgiveness to others because we have not been able fully to receive it. Only as people who have accepted forgiveness can we find the inner freedom to give it.
Quote by Henri Nouwen
REFLECTION:
- Are you able to receive forgiveness?
- Are you able to offer (give) forgiveness?
- Acdcepting forgiveness can open the door to inner freedom. Try receiving today. And.. maybe give/offer forgiveness to someone tomorrow.
