I read this post from Paulo Coelho's blog and thought that it's worth sharing:
FORGIVING YOUR ENEMIES
by Paulo Coelho
The abbot asked his favorite pupil how his spiritual progress was coming along. The pupil answered that he was managing to dedicate to God each and every moment of the day.
“Then all that’s left now is to forgive your enemies.”
The young man was shocked:
“But I’m not angry at my enemies!”
“Do you think God is angry at you?”
“Of course not!”
“And even so you ask Him to forgive you, don’t you? Do the same with your enemies, even though you don’t feel hatred for them."
“Those who practice forgiveness wash and perfume their own hearts.”
Need I say more? I guess not.
xoxo
