Greetings Dear Reader,
One of the things that I see as a primary step in having a
forgiving heart is accepting that I need and have forgiveness from God. I am need of it daily and over the span of my
life. I am in need; full stop.
It is pride, for which I need forgiveness that prevents me
seeing this need. I raise standards and
compare sin to keep me from seeing said need.
This makes me feel better for a moment but does nothing to ameliorate
the condition. It is like treating a
fever without treating the infection. The purpose of the fever is to get us to
notice the infection.
I ponder Joseph so clearly at this time. What must it have been to see things through
his eyes? It took an angel to move him
to the place of understanding and forgiveness.
It took something miraculous to bend his will. We seek the miraculous in order to accept our
need to be forgiveness. What we fail to
see is that forgiveness is miraculous.
Left to my own devices I want vengeance, retribution, and
compensation. As a man apart from God I
crave to see my enemies suffering and destroyed. But to the degree that I need forgiveness I
must offer it to others. I must accept
that it is miraculous that God loves me enough to forgive me. I must embrace and recreate the miracle that
is forgiveness.
I must accept forgiveness from God that I so desperately need
and then in turn give it to others.
Joseph believed that Mary had done wrong to him. Even though he was mistaken he still had to
forgive her. Love cannot function
without forgiveness. If I do not realize
my need for it form God then I cannot understand the depth of his love for
me. Do you seek a miracle to
believe? I think you need look no
further.
Forgiveness is a
Miracle – Jason Gray
Love can make a soul
come alive
Love can draw a dream
out of the darkness
And blow every door
open wide
But love can leave you
broken hearted
Did she dare to look
you in the eye?
Did her betrayal leave
you raging?
Did you let her see
you cry?
When she said the
child was not your baby
Pain can turn to anger
then to vengeance
It happens time and
again
Even in the best of
men
It takes a miracle to
save us
When love is like an
open wound
There's no way to stop
the bleeding
Did you lose sleep
over what to do ?
Between what's just
and what brings healing
Pain can be a road to
find compassion
When we don't
understand and bring a better end
It takes a miracle to
show us
Forgiveness is a miracle,
a miracle
And a miracle will
change your world
Forgiveness is a
miracle
An angel in a dream
spoke into your darkest night
So you trusted in the
Lord
And you took her as
your wife
The forgiveness that
you gave
Would be given back to
you
Because you carried in
your heart
What she was holding
in her womb
Love was in a crowded
barn
There you were beside
her kneeling
You held it in your
arms
As the miracle started
breathing
Forgiveness is a miracle,
a miracle
And a miracle will
change your world
Forgiveness is a
miracle
Forgiveness is a
miracle , a miracle
And a miracle will
change your world
Forgiveness is a
miracle
Blessed Joseph, your
heart is proven
And through you the
kingdom has come
For God delights in a
man of mercy
And has found an
earthly father for his son
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store."
