Forgiveness

I saw one of the most beautiful things ever. I saw a daughter filled with shame, eyes filled with grief and tears asking for forgiveness. Not even able to look her father in the eyes. Inside herself grief filled fighting through the vale of shame speaking words of war against the accusing thoughts. Pushing though and risking her whole being on the response of her father.

I saw a father so filled with compassion and love mesmerized by his daughters earnestness and humility raise her chin to gaze to his eyes. She looked though the same filled tears deep into his eyes as he said. I forgive you. I love you. All the shame is gone. Your restored to me.

I can barley believe what I saw. It was so pure, so holy, so right. What a beautiful example of how God our heavenly father forgives us. WOW.
