IT'S NOT HARD to forgive when we come to understand man as God knows him. Once it took some time for me to gain that spiritual perspective, because someone I love very much had been severely abused mentally and physically. I knew it wasn't good for me to allow a memory of evil to remain in my thought and to be unforgiving. I realized that I needed to pray. I persisted until the healing came.
The difficulty was that my first husband was inexorably mean to our little boy, especially first thing in the morning as the child was about to leave for school or Sunday School. It got to the point where I even found myself rehearsing the child on what he should say or what he should do in his father's presence in order to prevent this cruel treatment.
God's child reflects Love's infinite capacity to love.
