Forgiveness

"Father, Forgive them for they know not what they do".

These are the words that were spoken by Jesus while he hung from the cross.
He was asking God to forgive the thieves that hung on either side of him.
He was asking God to forgive those who put him on that cross.
He was asking God to forgive all of humanity, for they know not what they do.

Jesus, whether you think that he was the son of God, a prophet, or just a simple carpenters son, used his last breaths to ask God to forgive us.
I believe that we should do the same. 
Not when death is knocking at our door, but NOW!

NOW is the time,
for we know not when time will run out for us.
We do not know what the
years
months
days
hours
minutes
and seconds
hold for us.

Now is the time to forgive
our brothers, sisters,
and
our enemies.

Now is the time to ask 
our brothers, sisters
and
enemies 
to forgive us for our
sins.


I am a simple man and do not ask for much.
What I do ask for is that all of humanity forgives one another,
forgive your enemies,
forgive fathers and mothers,
forgive husbands and wives,
forgive your sons and daughters,
and
forgive me.

For this world that we live in is a cruel place and Satan has created his evil lair among us.
