“And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they cast lots to divide his garments.” – Luke 23:33-34 (ESV)
Radical forgiveness; it’s what Jesus modeled for us on the cross, and what He calls for us to implement in our own lives as well. Seeing beyond our anger, bitterness and hurt to forgive those that we feel have wronged us is certainly no easy task, however it’s exactly the type of unfaltering, unconditional love that God desires we strive to have for one another.
Hi, I’m Phil Malmstrom, a.k.a. Phather Phil. I’m self-employed, father of two wonderful young men, an ordained minister who delights in spreading Jesus’ Message of Hope and Love, a science-fiction junkie, an aspiring photographer and above all that one of God’s Children who rejoices in His Blessings each day. 
Good reminder. So hard to do, though I know we must keep trying. I seem to be giving God my inabilities more and more and that watch in amazement how he uses them. So I try once again to give him my anger and hurt too, knowing He will heal and mend them when I can’t, Good words, Phil
