One of those fine and contemplative mornings and I seem to be asking myself the same question over and over again. Is it a sign of low self esteem to always forgive even when you are not the one who should be on the forgiving side. Does it mean I do not have enough backbone to stand up for myself even when being put down. Does it mean I am merely meek and lowly in character and spirit. I certainly do not think so for the greatest person I know is always forgiving. There is a picture always attached to my heart and soul of this great man hanging on a cross, shedding tears and blood after being beaten and mocked . . . . his last words . . . . "forgive them, they know not what they do". I am not low of self esteem, I stand up for myself. I am not meek and lowly . . . . neither was He. He is my Lord and God, my heavenly Father. I truly believe his Word and trust in Him and therefore I will trust my heart and soul. And, yes, just like He has always forgiven me and you, I want to be like Him. I will never be put down for being too forgiving. I am me, and God has made my heart the way He wants it. My motto is "to forgive is to believe". I truly believe my Father in heaven has forgiven me for whatever sins I have committed and therefore there is no one I cannot forgive.
