Even those to whom we are the truest friends, and for whom we do the most, will sometimes treat us unjustly and do us sore injury. We cannot but feel the pain of such wrongs; but if meekly borne they will be turned to good for us by that divine love which transmutes everything into blessing for the life of faith. It is only when we cherish resentment and hold grudge in our hearts that the injuries done to us by others really harm us. Forgiveness robs them of their power to hurt us. Let us forgive generously. Too much of our forgiveness is with reservation: “I forgive you; but this ends our friendship.” The fuller our forgiveness, the richer blessing do we take from the injurious treatment.
