Are You Offendable?

 When you say to yourself and others that it is not possible for humans to forgive, it sounds really interesting. I'm betting you're right, but I don't 100% know what you mean by it yet. This is not the same as doubt, by the way. Can you explain what you mean, please?

OK, sure, I’ll give it a shot.

For me, forgiveness is unnecessary if one is not offended in the first place, as being 'offended' signals to me that one is 'offendable,' which admission is recognition is a higher state of responsibility. Letting Go and Letting God is a reconciliation or ‘acceptance’ of life on life’s terms.

 

On a second front, if one has turned their will and life over to the care of God, why should offenses and forgiveness exist? As with most if not all humans, 100% forgiveness existing 100% of the time seems impossible. For example, I keep saying the Serenity Prayer, but sublime 'forgetting' has its merit, so maybe saying the Senility Prayer leads to serenity, too? LOL!

But 'impossible' is God's favorite word, for it becomes a playground of nutritive soil, AKA 'powerless' and getting out of one's own way so Creator God can have full reign returns us to our original state of innocence. Sorry about all this God Talk stuff, but I can say that forgiveness of the most difficult events that happened in my life transpired through prayer and God sending love in the place of pain. I wrote about the experience in my book, in the chapter about forgiving my abuser. I no longer let the words ‘my’ and ‘abuser’ remain as points of pain. Since my life is no longer my own, how does ‘my abuser’ hold sway over my consciousness

There is One who has ALL power, that one is God…may you find Her now.
