“The earth is a forgiveness school,” Anne Lamott says.
When I began studying forgiveness, it didn’t take long at all for God to show me that I first needed to finally forgive the church. This realization hit me like a thousand bricks when it occurred to me that I had been harboring unforgiveness toward the big C church and the little c church - the church of my childhood - for years and years and years and my own unforgiveness had turned me into someone I no longer recognized. I had become a slave to my unforgiveness.
That became clear when, as I was studying forgiveness, I read these verses Hebrews 12:14-15 “Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.”
I was a bitter root.
Lectio Divina from Psalm 140.
