The Principle of Forgiveness

"Sheep Are Dumb"

...Said someone in my bible study saturday morning class. It hit me. That's what Jesus said- essentially, so dumb-
- they don't know what they are doing.
Forgive them father, they know not what they do.
So dumb they can't even figure out who loves them the most and what power I have to help save them.

How can you be mad at a bunch of idiots? How can you be mad at a bunch of idiots who don't even get that you are there to help? You can't be mad- dumb people didn't ask to be dumb-they can't help it.

Forgive them father, they know not what they do.

Even when they do massive incredible death and destruction are you supposed to say that and just forgive them? Yup. Because the act of forgiveness is a giving of Grace and Mercy that has so much more power than any petty retribution or harboring anger would ever gain you and has so much more power than the destruction they tried to do. You forgive for them, but also for you. "Why let idiots rent space in your head?" (my mother used to say.)

SHEEP ARE DUMB. Why pick a fight with bleeting sheep? Sheep bleet. That's what they do.
