A famous cliche about your wound is flat out false. Time does NOT heal wounds. Forgiveness does. And, as C.S. Lewis reminds us, “Every one says forgiveness is a lovely idea, until they have something to forgive…”
You and I are wounded men and women. Sadly, some of us get out of here without tasting love from another human. Sad and oh so true. None of us, however, escapes without the bitter taste of human betrayal. All men betray and all of us will feel the acts against us; only the best of us will feel remorse for the acts of our own doing. Only the strong lead in reconciling and repairing; the damn few.
Time does not heal; forgiveness does. God, help me find your forgiving Spirit and hold onto it beyond Sunday. God, help me…
