Forgiveness & Oreos
There are three types of forgiveness that I want to share with you. We must accept forgiveness from Jesus, extend forgiveness to ourselves and then be willing to give forgiveness to others.
Coming from a family of perfectionists, I struggled with two out of three. Until I started walking through my process of recovery, I determined an issue with all three components of forgiveness.
These three pieces of forgiveness are like an Oreo cookie. The two chocolate cookies are held together by the creamy filling. It is not an Oreo unless all three pieces are present and put together.
Complete forgiveness is when you can accept, extend and give it away.
When I eat an Oreo, I like to take it apart and eat the cream filling first and then eat the cookies.
However you eat your Oreos, I bet you are wanting them right now and you will never eat them the same again. I know that I have not.
Forgiveness is a gift to you.
