Forgiveness

Today, during our guitar lesson, the topic was on forgiveness. It is one of the most preached about topics and yet, one of the most difficult to practice as well.

Why do we find it so difficult to forgive? Is it because we feel that by holding grudges and not forgiving the person who had hurt us, we're actually hurting that person back as well? But in the end, it is us who will be hurt eventually.

No, life is too short to be angry with someone for too long. Besides, a person who truly cares for you will not hurt you intentionally either. And for someone who does not bother about you, he or she is not worth any of your tears, or bitterness for that matter.

Haha. But this is easier said than done.

The everlasting

Everlasting
By Dan Muckala and Jess Cates

The sky will fall.
The ground will give.
Through it all,
You will be faithful.

Friends may leave.
They come and go.
This I know,
You will be faithful
You will be faith ful

You will always be the same.
Your love will never change.
You are the everlasting
I will put my trust in You
Forever to be true
You are the everlasting

You're the Alpha and Omega
You're forever, everlasting


We learnt this song during our guitar class, which has already ended by the way.

I wonder what the songwriter was thinking when he wrote this song. Did he go through some incidents to make him realise that only God is everlasting?

Guess time changes how we see things, and people too, for that matter. Or rather, it makes us see certain things all the more clearer.
