I've been trying to get down to the heart of the matter,
But my will gets weak and my thoughts seem to scatter—
But I think it's about forgiveness, forgiveness—
Even if—even if—you don't love me anymore.
- Don Henley
This is exactly where I have been lately. Trying to get down to the heart of that matter, but my will gets weak and my thoughts scatter, But yes, I think it's about forgiveness.
Been there?
The people who are closest to us are also possibly the ones who can/may/will hurt us the most. These hurts are like wounds of different kinds. Some deep, some shallow, some just a scrape, some painfully raw, and some leave scars while some don't. However these wounds are, I have learnt that there is just one medicine that can work miracles on them all. It's a guaranteed no scars, no marks, good as new treatment.
It's called forgiveness. And the 'given' right in the center of it is what it's mostly about. The heart of the matter so to speak. It's free of cost but takes love to give and grace to apply. And you have to do it day after day consistently.
Unlike in most cases, Forgiveness is not just 'an' alternative I can take. It's the only way into a *real* relationship, and the only way through a *real* relationship, 'coz we are all *real* people and *real* people tend to mess up, just like me.
Dear Mister God, this is @ina talking . . . Yeah, this is a lot easier talking, and a lot harder doing. Grace, dear God, give me grace.
