During the holiday season, inevitably someone may encounter friends or loved ones who have wronged them in some way or another. Maybe it was the cousin who borrowed $1,000 of your student loan refund and then never began repayment, or a relative who touched you inappropriately during childhood?
Whatever the violation, you may be left struggling to figure out to navigate the rocky terrain of holiday fellowship.
While I pray you seek the necessary counsel, I also encourage you to search your own hearts to see if there is even a microgram of forgiveness resting there.
Even in my own life as I have sought apologies from others, I have asked God to search my own heart. My heart and actions have not always been pure, and like King David I must now pray: “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” (Psalm 51:10). No, the road to forgiveness may not be a short one, and it’s likely unleveled with a few potholes.
Today, however, I am grateful that the path to forgiveness does not bear a “road closed” sign.
