When it’s not asked for and not given.
When it is asked for and not given.
When it’s not asked for and IS given.
When it’s asked for and given.
All are possible, some more likely, the asking and the giving can be longed for by the other, though none willing to take the first step.
Forgiveness… Mountain ranges of pride to conquer.
Forgiveness… Flights of freedom when given.
Mistakes.
Sorrows.
Damages.
Imperfect love.
Angry words.
Long silences.
Hearts aching.
Even those not directly involved.
Forgiveness – the great restorer.
Forgiveness – the elusive healer.
Forgiveness – the bridge builder.
Forgiveness – exampled by the Redeemer.
Forgiveness – ruling off the ledger.
Incomings, outgoings ruled off.
Balanced.
Owed no more.
