FR JOHN'S JOTTINGS
If you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions. (Matthew 6:15)
For hiding Jews in her home during World War II, Corrie ten Boom was imprisoned in the infamous Ravensbruck concentration camp. She survived the Holocaust, and after the war, she traveled all over Europe speaking about the need for forgiveness and reconciliation. At one such event, she recognized one of the Ravensbruck guards. He said to her, “I know that God has forgiven me for the cruel things I did there, but I would like to hear it from your lips as well … Will you forgive me?” Corrie struggled to raise her hand to meet his but felt only coldness in her heart. So she prayed, “ Jesus help me.” Suddenly she felt a current race down her arm and into their joined hands. “Then this healing warmth seemed to flood my whole being. ‘I forgive you brother’ I cried.
“And so I discovered that it is not on our forgiveness any more than on our goodness that the world’s healing hinges, but on his. God wants to give you the gift of forgiveness as well. Day in, day out as you draw close to him, he can cultivate the soil of your heart, making you more and more open to his grace. Then when the moment appears, forgiveness will come, just as it did for Corrie ten BoomExcerpt from Word Among Us -
