		<description>What a message?  -was just thought provoking. What I have learnt from the extract---

Forgiveness has an element of condition attached to it:  Petition--If we forgive ....then God will also forgive (Matthew 6: 14-15). Implication that
We should be forgiving to be forgiven... No choice-period. A guide to avoid not to block /delay our blessings as well.   
It requires a lot of courage though.

Implication:The one that has been wronged is expected to be the first to act i,e. to forgive - need more strength than ever brethren--I mean ---from God! Just think  especially  immediately  after taking a decision to forgive --that&#039;s brave !. At times you deny your normal feelings-one convinces her/himself  to do what is against his will /what is normal reaction of the society &amp; act objectively---do something-forgive.

 -Not easy sometimes(understandably) but it is possible to forgive. Really this has also a liberating effect(can be therapeutic and portray unselfishness as well)---adds something to one&#039;s character.  As you have said---shows how God loves us---how to love others too. 

In the process of  forgiving our loved ones/or those who wronged us/or those who do not deserve  our love/ or ourselves (for finding us committing the same errors again&amp; again that made us not to forgive ourselves---remember it defeats the say---&quot;I will not forgive myself if I can do A /B/C&quot;)      we reach out to them/to ourselves---we embrace---we love  ----we act first. Christ-like!

What can I say? 
Thanks for the message :it&#039;s really encouraging
God bless.</description>

		<description>What a powerful message. 
It is ironic that it is not the person we forgive that&#039;s blessed, but the person who forgave. 
There is power in forgiveness.</description>
