There is a lot of anger and hate floating in the air and taking up residence in hearts. To love unconditionally and to forgive completely without but’s and without If’s are things people try to do. They are things people think they do, yet people actually have a very difficult time doing, therefore don’t actually do, or they pretend they do. But deep down inside they know the truth, and realize they fall short of unconditional love and forgiveness. Our lives, families, communities, and our world would be so different if we actually caught on to all that it means to live within the boundaries of love and forgiveness. What if people everywhere always based all their actions and interactions upon those principles and upon those foundations? Remember that a grudge is nothing but unforgiveness. Most bitterness? Unforgiveness. Unresolved anger? All hatred? Revenge? Unforgiveness. It comes in many disguises but it’s still the same root. Love and hate cannot abide in the same heart because they will always be at war with one another. Don’t pretend to love and forgive. Learn how to really love and truly forgive and then know what true peace feels like. It’s a life changing experience.
