" Forgive that God may forgive you" It seems strange that forgiveness has taste ... But if we understand the essence
of the lesson of the Master Jesus, will feel the sweet taste, and also a bitter taste, a strange feeling of not being forgiven by Jesus.
Feel the sweet taste of
forgiveness when fully
forgive as Jesus taught, without any restriction, with all the love from the heart.
Forgiveness is a form of transgression received, but what good is forgiving, saying that forgiving those who hurt us and never forget to add the offense received. This is not the forgiveness of the Master. Just remember Jesus crucified in his final moments when he looks at the High and says: "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do .."
The Gospel According to Spiritism in Chapter X gives us the true dimension of forgiveness in its simplest form, acceptable to God, leading us to reflect on the Master''s words recorded by Matthew of the Beatitudes: "If you forgive men when who commit sins against you, your heavenly Father also will forgive you your sins, but if you do not forgive men when they have offended you, your heavenly Father also will not forgive sins (ch. VI, vv. 14.15).
What good would we ask God for forgiveness of our sins is on our side we do not forgive those who trespass against us? We would not be worthy to pray the Our Father. Matthew records in Chapter XVIII vv. 15,21,22, the words of Christ: "If you sin against your brother, go and make him feel the lack in particular, alone with him if you attend, you will have gained your brother. - Then came to him, Peter said to him: Lord, how often will forgive my brother when he has sinned against me? Up to seven times? - Jesus said to him: Do not I tell you to forgive seven times, but seventy times seven times. "
Jesus always spoke in parables, leaving each one regarded his lesson. Surely he meant that the pardon does not count limit. It is constant, eternal, and more by actions than by their own words. The satisfaction we feel is the sweet taste of forgiveness. Love one another as I love you, Jesus taught us.
If bragging about forgiveness to satisfy our selfishness that we are willing to show mercy, for sure he will bring the taste of falsehood, slander. Kardec put forgiveness in the chapter on the Beatitudes, because forgiveness is merciful, and mercy is the complement of kindness, she also brings with it the softness and quiet. We can feel the bitter taste the same pronounced forgiveness, bring-in hatred and bitterness, which are attributes of the soul without grandeur, the soul hardened by sin and indifference. Rather, the pardon in particular quietly and without requiring their disclosure, are acts of noble souls high.
Allan Kardec tells of two different ways to forgive. The first we refer to, is generous, avoid hurting self-esteem and intimacy of the opponent or enemy, has the sweet taste of honey, the recognition and hope of future life that Jesus always referred to. The other, which is bitter, is the act of forgiveness with reservations, with sorrow and resentment, insulting to anyone who offers forgiveness. It is the fruit of benevolence, but ostentation, to show generous.
To forgive is to be charitable, is show up with a generous and noble soul, walking in the spiritual evolution Granger not only the sympathy of good men, but getting indirectly mediums of the vibrations of love, which provide that pleasant state of well being and meekness.
