I think that most of us have trouble with forgiveness and the the more horrific the transgression, the more difficult it is.

Well and truly said, dear brother in Christ.

And further I would suggest that this reluctance to forgive (or its corollary the desire to retain a quiver full of offenses for future ammunition) - is the very reason so many Christians do not experience miracles in their lives:

Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them]. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. – Mark 11:24-26

God's Name is I AM.

INDEED.

WELL AND ACCURATELY SAID.

SOMETIMES, THOUGH, it seems like horrible things are easier for SOME to forgive than the daily niggly things between them and their spouses or parents or co-workers and bosses.s

Sooner or later—until The Lord has succeeded in getting us to cooperate with crucifying ALL THAT FLESH that would rear it’s head as prosecutor, judge, jury and executioner

OF

THEIR

sins . . .

while letting ourselves so faithfully off the hook . . .

Sooner or later, The Lord will put HIS FINGER on an area requiring our forgiveness. And when we balk, He will likely take a step back in intimacy and WAIT.

Then He tends to start pulling feathers out of our nest until we see in the mirror more accurately.

And it doesn’t really matter how horrible the particulars are.
