“[[The Father]] in [[Heaven]] has [[forgiven]] you even before you have [[thought]] to ask him, but such forgiveness is not available in your personal religious [[experience]] until such a time as you forgive your fellow men. God’s forgiveness in [[fact]] is not conditioned upon your forgiving your fellows, but in [[experience]] it is exactly so conditioned.” ([[146:2|146:2.4]])
Thought Adjuster: “You are asking for [[feedback]] on the above quote. Indeed, the topic of [[Forgiveness]] is a challenging one for [[human beings]]. Why is it so? It is due to the fact that they are not [[Godlike]] YET. If they were, Forgiveness would come naturally to them, as Unconditional Love is All-Forgiving.
“Take a moment to [[ponder]] that statement. If you [[love]] someone ‘unconditionally’, you love the whole package deal — ‘for better or for worse’. You [[appreciate]] their endearing [[qualities]] and are willing to put up with their temporary flaws, [[understanding]] that both God and the [[individual]] willing, such irritating flaws are bound to be erased over [[time]] during the lengthy and meticulous assemblage of his emerging God likeness.
“Therefore, it is a ‘[[fact]]’ that you can take the Father’s Forgiveness for granted. Yet, if you are deeply moved by [[the Father]]’s magnanimous forgiveness of your spiritual [[debts]], you will be led to [[express]] your [[gratitude]] by treating others in the same fashion. How could you ever become [[Godlike]] otherwise? By forgiving unconditionally — without any strings attached — you are taking your first steps toward unconditional Love.
“You may have kept an [[inventory]] of all the offenses perpetrated against you by this [[individual]] and deem that he is coming very short of deserving your magnanimity. Yet, what about you? How come you so readily accept such an undeserved debt-forgiveness from the One you probably offended the most in your [[ignorance]], [[stubbornness]], and immaturity? Aren’t these the very arguments put forth in your [[defense]] — the attenuating circumstances that you plead in good [[faith]] and that are already known to [[the Father]]?
“Why then shouldn’t you look at your [[siblings]] in a similar fashion, thus developing a [[compassionate]] [[heart]] toward them and learning to not take their offenses so personally so as not to turn your life into the stage of a never-ending [[painful]] drama?
===Closing===
“Dear ones, turn within and ask for Divine Assistance in the [[forgiveness]] [[process]]. Whether or not your brother begs you to forgive his offenses toward you should make no [[difference]], as the scale should already be tipping in his favor on the side of unconditional love. You too should become able to forgive before he even asks and if and when he finally asks, your [[heart]] will be already wide open to hold him in a loving [[embrace]] as your prodigal brother.”
