Forgive

 

Christ tells Peter we must forgive our brother 70 x 7, a totality, and proceeds to tell a parable to that effect. He finishes, "So it will be for you if you do not forgive your brother from your heart." To put it bluntly, you go to hell if you have an unforgiving spirit or heart.

Does that sound somehow harsh? Hardly. Consider the qualities of an unforgiving spirit: Wrath, resentment, vengeance and everything that flows from that. Do these things make us happy? Demonstrably not. Do they add to our communion or fellowship with our fellow men? Errrr, no, they do not. Do they make us attractive? Now that's a hard one. No, they don't.

Just look at what sheer evil does to a person

An unforgiving, vengeful heart is abhorrent to men, and all the more so to God who is in all simplicity mercy, love and compassion in Himself. The unforgiving person, the soul which nurtures hatred, revenge and grievance close to itself eventually becomes what it does. Net result? A soul diametrically opposed to God. There is no place in paradise for such an... entity.

So we must forgive and do so totally. Easy to say, right, but notoriously hard to do when we're stabbed in the back, the blood's flowing and we've been grievously hurt. When that happens we want to lash back in furious rage and destroy our enemy utterly. But hold on, stand by.

Some kind of pathetic joke?

When we're tempted by such a demonic urge, and we all are, first consider the parable of the unforgiving steward. Who are we to wreak vengeance when so much has been forgiven, and then pray the Lord's Prayer, "Forgive us our trespasses and we forgive those who trespass against us." With that, ask God in prayer to grant us a merciful, loving, compassionate heart. 

I tell you, all ye heathen, that he will grant this request and transform our hearts into the likeness of his own, such that when we meet him face to face he will recognize us as his own and welcome us into the heavenly kingdom. 

Now, is all this about being somehow soft on sin? No, it's about fashioning our hearts after the heart of God, becoming like him. Therein lies sanctity, salvation, and the defeat of demons.

GONE

 

Britain's most hated Prime Minister in the history of history has resigned. Two-Tier Kier, 2TK, announced his resignation this morning from the steps of 10 Downing Street and the free world heaved a sigh of relief. 

What a disastrous mountebank who famously hounded veterans in court, as a hobby, took away pensioners' winter fuel allowance, tried to tax farmers out of existence, had people arrested for having the brazen, literal temerity to complain on the internet about imported head-chopping savages. The same 2TK who did his worst to wreck UK energy independence with idiotic and corrupt Net Zero climate cultism, all the while importing thousands of Moslem votes into a country the size of a shoebox. Don't you dare complain, serfs.

Wow, the list goes on and on. What gets me, as a loyal expat, is the betrayal of a great country by the people who lead it. In this case, by a gang of 1980s Student Union commies who hate their country, its people, its past and its heritage. No wonder, punters, that the British Army, Navy and Air Force are hollowed out simulacra of what they once were. No point in defending an island you despise, is there, when the cash to do so can be spent on importing foreign votes. The votes of people who scorn your country's culture almost as much as you do yourself.

Mini rant over, let's return to 2TK. He's gone or outgoing. Who will replace this unparalleled, unpopular buffoon? Evidently some leftist grifter from Wigan called Andy Burnham. Expect more of the same with, perhaps, a smiley face. So there we have it, unless a snap election's called the UK's left with the Nu-Left 'til the '29 election. A lot can happen in those years, no doubt about it.

Perhaps, US friends, you're a little baffled by UK politics, understandably. Look at it this way: imagine Kamala had won. Same playbook entirely, but with vastly more cash. We dodged that bullet. Good luck, UK.

Cheers,
