Forgiveness
My dad, once told me a story about how to show kindness to people even do you know what they are doing is not right or what they keep on doing is not right, keep on showing them mercy that will lead them in a better position someday.
You see he lives with his wife and children but this man is a drunker, serious drunker I mean all he thinks is to get drunk every day, he can't even take proper care of his family he spends all his salary on rum, his home doesn't have peace he keeps fighting his wife everything time, his wife and kids get tired of his attitude towards them but they don't have anything to do they continue with the situation.
One day a pastor transfer very close to this man who is drunker, the pastor makes his first visit the other day, he met the whole family and try to introduce himself as a pastor and as there new neighbour, the man was so angry when the pastor was talking he finally as him out of his house and told him never to come back.
The pastor didn't relent he visited the other day but the man was not around so he meets with his and kids the talk for a while before he left when the man came back his wife told about the pastor's visit, he was very angry with his and start beating him and went to the pastor's wife and but a stop not to visit his family anymore.
Since the pastor did not stop he started to throw dirt in front of the pastor's door that keeps happening every day with no regret from the man but the pastor keeps carrying Every time this man put it there.
Both the drunker and his wife don't have time to watch over their kids because they both go out to find living these children will stay home hungry until their mother came home in the evening to prepare something for them to eat after that they just go to bed not to for the kids to study.
The pastor finds out everything that is going with those family so he tries to make a solution after school be ask the children to come home and have a meal with his family the kids were so happy at last they can eat after school and study when their mom came home they told her what happen she was so happy for that and say thanks to the pastor and his family.
When the man came home they were so happy to tell him what happen but they disappointed by his reply he went to the pastor's house and insult him but the pastor doesn't say a word to him, he keeps on throw the dirt at the pastor's house every day.
One day the pastor went out and he finds out that there was no dirt at his door he no something is wrong somewhere he runs at ones to see if the everything is ok with the family when he reaches he finds out the man went in comma so he decides to take him to the hospital immediately.
When he gains consciousness he asks some many questions and he asks who took him to the hospital his wife reply is the past with fear he send for the pastor when he came he ask for forgiveness the pastor did wholeheartedly and they come, family.
You see the Bible clearly describe forgiveness for us let see what he says in "Hebrews 8:12 – For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more. Luke 23:34 – As he hung on the cross – “And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
