We've been watching a rather silly new tv series entitled "Unbroken Kimmie." The plot of this show is that the young female star has been freed from a ten year imprisonment by a cult leader. So far that imprisonment has not been portrayed as terribly abusive but there are nuances of tough times. Kimmie's adjustment to life in New York City is the theme of the 2 episodes we have watched and most of the show is an attempt at comedy.
In talking about her imprisonment, Kimmie says she has learned the way to get through any difficult experience is to "know you can do it for 10 seconds at a time...Because once you get through that ten seconds, you can do another 10 seconds...until it's over."
This may be a bit of a stretch, but I wonder if that would work for forgiveness. Can I truly forgive someone for 10 seconds and then stretch it to 10 seconds more and so on? Maybe it won't work for complete forgiveness but maybe it's a way to start.
I certainly want God's forgiveness for more than 10 seconds at a time!
Dear God, today please help me to really forgive _____ for 10 seconds...and then help me to add 10 more............and 10 more....and 10 more......
Blessings---Penny
