{Borrowed} Forgiving is one of the most difficult and complex - TopicsExpress



          

{Borrowed} Forgiving is one of the most difficult and complex gestures and yet, like love, it is one of the things which defines the essence of our humanity. In fact, the contemplative dimension of forgiveness reveals that at its core, forgiveness is a divine gift of love, a movement of love so profound that it reveals the truth of our nature — fully human and enlivened with the divine potential. Yet, the very fact that we do not forgive, or find forgiveness so difficult, reveals another essential quality of our humanness — free will. We have a God-given ability to choose, to be and to do as we please, and how we choose defines the level of our being and life experiences. In seeking to live a contemplative life in the modern world, we are invited not only to make conscious, loving choices but to open ourselves more and more to the movement of the Spirit in our lives and relationships.
