Thursday after Ash Wednesday Sometimes we think that weve accepted Gods forgiveness of us, only to find that, deep down, we havent. We have somehow bracketed it and treated it as interesting but irrelevant information. How can we tell? By the fact that we remain unforgiving of ourselves. Its all very well of God to forgive us, and we deign to accept the kindness, knowing that it is well meant. But were not going to let ourselves off the hook so easily. We still reserve the right to have higher standards than God. Sorry, It wont work. If we arent forgiving of our own failures and errors, we arent really taking Gods forgiveness of us seriously either. - L. William Countryman, Forgiven and Forgiving
