FORGIVEN

As life becomes more complicated it seems easier to put off for tomorrow what should be done today. Do you want to be told tomorrow, I'm sorry, for something that happened last week? Funny thing about time and the often painful events in life, they don't heal or get better on their own. This is why apologies and forgiveness must be applied quickly and often to comfort the afflicted and keep our relationships healthy and strong.

People need people to exist in society. Without each other our best efforts and most important accomplishments would only fall to the ground unnoticed. This is what makes the heartfelt apology so powerful. When anyone turns to say, "I'm sorry", the recipient of this statement must weigh his connection to the other person, based on desired relationship, and respond with forgiveness. No sincere apology should go unforgiven! Even the longest grudges are broken by the acknowledgement of heartfelt apologies. Can you say, I'm sorry? Can you forgive someone who says to you, they're sorry? What good is to seek forgiveness, if you are not willing to forgive!

The person with the least amount of stress and most amount of peace has learned to forgive and be forgiven. Rest is promised together with sweet sleep, to those who are at peace with fellow man. Who are the enemies of those who are forgiven?
