It was the day when I went with my community members for a Confession in preparation for the Christmas. As I was preparing myself for the Confession there was a inner voice..."Go and reconcile with that person first before confession." With that person always I have little arguments and hurts. I said, "Why? It was he who always makes things complicated and makes the situation hard." Again God said, "God and reconcile with him first before confession" I said, "Why? It's not my fault." You know what did He said..."What was my fault to become like you and to die for you on the Cross?" I was so silent. I had nothing to say except doing what He asked of me.
That's true. What fault and who's fault, and whose so ever the fault... Love everyone and forgive everyone without any condition. I read in a book that even in asking pardon, we want to keep up our ego. We say, 'I am sorry.' The hold is still with us, whether you accept it or not, forgive me or not, just I am sorry. But when we say, Please forgive me, we are more vulnerable to that persons mercy. That's what I asked.. I asked 'please forgive me'. God loves and if we love other with the same love and forgive with the same forgiveness that we receive from God we will be true witnesses to His Love.
So, forgive, ask pardon and love everyone in this Christmas season, May the new year be really a new year.
HAVE A MEANINGFUL CHRISTMAS AND GRACE FILLED NEW YEAR...
