"To err is human; to forgive divine." Alexander Pope
If I am unable to accept the fact that people make mistakes, am I not rejecitng them as human beings? Even more to the point: does my inability to accept my own failings cause me to see myself as not measuring up?
For my own peace of mind, I nee to forgive even the most damaging transgressions; but forgiveness of others can only come when I have learned to forgive myself.
For today: I pray for a forgiving heart and the willingness to let go bitterness.
