His heart a rock blocking the flow of God’s love.
Unable to give. Unable to receive.
The offense brought pain. The pain cut the stream.
The man had the opportunity to forgive but he felt the hurt ran too deep.
Jesus offered forgiveness and healing.
He brushed it aside. But if we do not forgive the offender,
We cannot be forgiven.
Like a dagger to his own heart his choice not to forgive.
Then the revelation came, “If I forgive the offender, I set us both free.”
Love trickled down into the crevice of the deep wound.
Soon healing reached the deepest parts. Soon joy was reborn.
The man decided to offer the offender a gift wrapped in grace.
The gift of mercy since he had received his pardon from the Master.
Now the Son of Man smiles upon the one who found freedom.
