More From Anne Lamott

It's forgiveness that makes us what we are. without forgiveness, our species would've annihilated itself in endless retributions. without forgiveness, there would be no history. without that hope, there would be no art, for every work of art is in some way an act of forgiveness. without that dream, there would be no love, for every act of love is in some way a promise to forgive. we live on because we can love, and we love because we can forgive.

The saved sinner is prostrate in adoration, lost in wonder and praise. he knows repentance is not what we do in order to earn forgiveness; it is what we do because we have been forgiven. it serves as an expression of gratitude rather than an effort to earn forgiveness. thus the sequence of forgiveness and then repentance, rather than repentance and then forgiveness, is crucial for understanding the gospel of grace.

At the time, i didn't know what forgiveness meant. i wouldn't really know what forgiveness meant for another year, until my pastor, rick mckinley, happened to spell it out in a sermon. he said that when you forgive, you bear the burden somebody has given you without holding them accountable.

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.

All the lines that held me to my life were sliced apart in swift cuts, like clipping the strings of a bunch of balloons. everything that made me who i was - my love for the dead girl upstairs, my love for my father, my loyalty to my new pack, the love for my other brothers, my hatred for my enemies, my home, my name, my self - disconnected from me in that second - snip, snip, snip - and floated up into space.

Forgiveness doesn't mean that what that person did was right or that you even have to get back into a relationship with that person. forgiveness simply releases the debt they owe you so that god can release the debt you owe him. ask the lord to search your heart and show you if there is any unforgiveness blocking his blessing in your life. ask him to show you more about this gift of forgiveness so that you can walk in the freedom and victory he has for you today.
