Putting the “Give” in Forgiveness

Forgiveness is an act of generosity. It can be much more difficult to give such mercy when the person offending you did a selfish act. And most offenses are offensive because they are selfish acts.

We can find it as difficult to give someone for minor as well as major offenses. We want that person to somehow pay for their selfish act. But the irony of it all is that the selfish person poisons us and makes us selfish.

When those minor offenses happen today at work, at home or just roaming about, make a choice to be giving and forgiving. Don’t let a selfish person make you selfish too.
