What True Love Is

When can someone truly be forgiven? When a person does wrong to another, there will always be this lingering uncomfort that surrounds the relationship. No matter how hard you feel sorry, the memory will always be there. I'm sure many of you have done wrong to another and truly felt bad about it. the other person forgives you, but you both know it will never be the same as before.

so when does forgiveness reach its pinnacle and purest form? When someone loves you back more than you deserve, more than you had ever imagined for a closer relationship to you, because that someone knows that you are capable of being good. Who one earth could have the time and energy to establish this connection and maintain it? As we look around us, we are people, all having something hindering us from giving this ultimate form of compassion and love, but we all desire it. We want to remove a sense of guilt and regret so we know we are held up by someone who is slow to anger and desires the richest life possible for us. It is now that we question where can we possibly find this unconditional favor that eludes us.

Put yourself in this situation: You are an alcoholic. You have recently got out of your habit because someone has rescued you and is willing to give you $20,000 out of his good will to piece your life back together. You are joyful, and you thank him. You go home and put the money into a savings account, using it wisely while living a sober life. You feel free, excited, and thankful for this rescue. Your life changes completely; and once again you are free. Then one night this happens: you decide to use some of the money to buy some vodka. A month later, you only have $1000 left, you are unemployed, alone, afraid, angry, and drunk. You go back to the man who lent you money because he is now the only hope for your recovery. Because of your actions, you expect him to shut the door in your face and yell at you. As you ring his doorbell, his face has the expression of pure joy and relief. He is happy to see you more than anything in the world, even more than his friends. You cry in his arms.
