But it also reminded me that evil, the straight line, on target, thing that takes what is true, beautiful and good and corrupts if before our eyes is real and the higher the stakes the deeper the damage.
Truth
Can be spoken in love to or be a clanging symbol, spoken without humility and compassion.
We can choose to forgive because we want God to take revenge, to pour burning colas on a persons head, or to free us from the pain, or because we are ready to truly believe the best and have God truly bless and restore the other person. To bring into their lives all that He created them to be, to recognize that what is of God is always the best , the most beautiful, the most virtuous, the most good.
It's a matter of the heart, in the face of our falleness and the existence of evil, do we act in Christlike compassion or in human self defense.
