Someone whom you hardly know from Adam hits you with a gratuitous insult. You’re never ready for that.
Sometimes it doesn’t have to lead to World War III.
Repentance and forgiveness bring healing.
It’s a good thing to know.

A Forgiving Moment
The other day, someone came onto my chess page (“playground player” at http://www.chessgames.com) and posted a most insulting comment. I was rather cheesed off, and couldn’t decide whether to ignore it or come back with some devastating reply.
Before I could decide, he came back with another post handsomely apologizing for what he’d said and asking me to delete the comment. I was very glad to receive that apology! And to accept it.
Repentance and forgiveness are a powerful combination. If only we could turn them loose on this fallen world, it would be a little bit less fallen.
