Forgiveness and Reconciliation
United Communities of Spirit
The scriptures advocate a large-hearted attitude of forgiveness and
tolerance of others' mistakes, even when they cause offense or injury. Forgiveness is
far preferable to holding a grudge, which would only fester and poison the spirit.
It is preferable to exacting revenge -- see Love Your Enemy, pp. 999-1002. Furthermore,
we are advised to take responsibility for the grudges and injuries which others feel
towards us. This is the first of several sections which deal with overcoming disputes,
enmity, grudges, and prejudices in personal relationships.
