Beyond forgiveness: it’s one thing to experience God’s forgiveness or the forgiveness of someone else when we’ve wronged them or our experience of forgiving ourselves for the many poor decisions and sins that we have committed. But what’s next? The readings for today point out what’s next in the furtherance of God’s grace. The story of Mary Johnson and Oshea Israel is a powerful example of what it’s like to go beyond forgiveness when new vistas of joy open up for us.
