forgiveness

I have a good relationship with my family. Sometimes we have disputes or arguments but I still love them. Love is seeing past all the bad things and forgive them despite what they said. No family is perfect.

Corrie ten Boom is our prime example on forgiveness. It wasn't her family that caused problems. It was the Nazi government who put her family in a concentration camp where her sister and father died. But still, even though it was hard, she forgave them. Then God blessed her greatly and she got to travel around the whole world to tell others about the power of forgiveness. My favorite example, that Corrie used in her talks, is a piece of paper and a dot on it. Most people would say that they would just see the dot but Corrie saw the rest of the paper. You see most people focus on the bad of people like their family and what they did to them, but Corrie focused on the rest of paper which is all the good of that person. That my friends, shows forgiveness.
