Forgiveness...

We are told, 'Forgive and you will be forgiven..'

This is good advice and yet, what happens if we don't know that we need forgiveness?

Perhaps a lot happens in our lives and we may not even be aware of  our faults and failings.

Our unawareness does not excuse us and yet we know that we are forgiven.

Christ, in agony on the Cross, said  'Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.'

The key to forgiveness would seem to lie in our growing awareness of how much we are forgiven.

Then we are able and willing to forgive others.
