Jennifer,
When love is unconditional then forgivness is not needed, it is part of the love.
I agree we all must learn to forgive for that is often the first real step towards love!
Hi Mark...
Ohhh good way to express it!
Forgiveness is part of love... at its core for sure!
So often in relationships we want the perfect person to never make a mistake, but reality is that it is in the learning and growing and forgiving where love becomes real!
Thanks for this insight Mark!
Hugs,
JJ
When we are in love and our partner expresses a sincere apology we can just accept it immediately for what it is, sincere apology. The apology isn't contingent upon our forgiving. The apology stands alone. If we truly love we don't own the person or the apology. We just appreciate that our partner is willing and able to speak from the heart and say how sorry he or she is and then move on.
Hi Technobabe...
Very well stated.
There is something fabulous about being able to appreciate our partner's willingness to speak from the heart! You are so right!
And moving on is truly an important aspect of this dynamic of forgiveness. We often forget this...
Thanks sweetie for your insight and example,
Love,
jen
Great post! The difficulty with forgiving someone is so hard, but there seems to be peace. I really enjoy your insight on this. I’d love to read more on this topic.
I recently stumbled upon another blog like I stumbled upon yours and I really appreciated their insight. I thought you might enjoy it: http://burisonthecouch.wordpress.com/2010/11/17/forgiveness/
I’d love to see more like it. Thanks!
