*** The Mystery Surrounding Forgiveness
Forgiveness is a means to "cancel a debt." It in no way is intended to suppress emotion. It is not intended to pretend something never happened. Quite the contrary, the offence is paramount to the forgiving. [Little offence, little forgiveness required.] It is of vital importance to a wrong that cannot be righted, any act that cannot be undone. In as much as ALL people offend, forgiveness is the only remedy. It doesn't eliminate consequences of actions, but it does provide a return path to equality, where offences have overrun any balance.
