Forgiveness. The act of forgiving someone who has offended and hurt you is never easy...somehow it requires an overdose of humility and self-sacrifice to let go of an offender and with him/her, let go of one's self-importance.I only have to gaze at the crucifix and see how much God gave in for-giving us.
