Forgiveness

Yesterday, I sat in church and listened to Fr Cosmas Lee talk about forgiveness.  He said being unforgiving is one of the most destructive things in a person's life.  But why is it so difficult for us to forgive each other?  And how lucky we are that God forgives us every time?

This is something I have struggled with for too many years.  It is a painful thing to want to forgive but deep inside is a hard little rock that says no.  I tried and tried but just couldn't.  Then last year, when I began reciting the prayers, that hard little rock loosened and one day, I realised it was gone.  Again, proof to me that what I couldn't do, God could easily do for me.
