The Hiding Place Analysis

The Hiding Place: Forgiveness Forgiveness Psalm 130 says that there is forgiveness with God. It also says that this is because God should be feared. If we were more like God- which truly is impossible- we would find forgiveness so much easier to do. However, since it is impossible to be exactly like God, we must try our best to forgive.
To most people, forgiving is seen as simply accepting an apology given by the one who wronged them. However, forgiving is so much more than just that. Forgiving takes such vast quantities of effort, feeling, and, most importantly, love. There is no forgiveness without love. For if you do not really feel the love in your heart for the person who wronged you, how can you give anything more than a grudging acceptance
When she got out, do you think she would be able to forgive her enemies? Not so easily done, given the way they treated her. However, an easy solution would be to love. In 1 Corinthians, it says, “Though I speak with the tongues of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.” (1 Corinthians 13:1-2) Without love, we are nothing. Jesus said that we must love our enemies and our neighbors as well, which essentially means that we must love everyone. No one loves everyone, except Jesus, because if they did, they would be perfect and Jesus would have come back. But if it were possible to love everyone, then we could forgive everyone so easily, although, if everyone loved everyone, and if anyone loved everyone and that meant they were perfect, then there would be no one to be had to forgive at all. However, we are not perfect; nobody is. That makes it even more essential and leaves even less excuses for us not to try our hardest to love
