Forgiveness is UnEveN

Ash Wednesday is a day many in the church call for repentance and renewed dedication to God and one another. It is a day of reflection and evaluation of our fallen nature, our prideful actions, our sin against God and others, and a general attitude turned toward God. There may be ashes on the forehead, but smoldering ashes must also be in the heart. Ashes represent those things that have bogged us down and clouded our vision of God and others. 

Forgiveness is always uneven. What do I mean by that? Forgiveness is not a tik-for-tik kind of settlement but is more a tik for tot or tat. A person may ask for and not understand the total pain of their actions. Our receiving of forgiveness from God is always more than we deserve. I have often been asked why we must forgive others if they don’t acknowledge how they have wronged us since even God requires we repent to receive forgiveness? The answer to this question is at the heart of uneven forgiveness.
