I think we learn the most from imperfect relationships - things like forgiveness and compassion.
I think it's important to remember that Christianity was based in love and tolerance and forgiveness and acceptance.
Forgiveness really is so misunderstood as well as the power it can release in an individual.
My desire is to stand up and brush myself off when I make mistakes and ask for forgiveness.
I find forgiveness to be really healthy.
It is always the case that when the Christian looks back he is looking at the forgiveness of sins.

We win by tenderness. We conquer by forgiveness.
If Jesus Christ was who He claimed to be and He did die on a cross at a point of time in history then for all history past and all history future it is relevant because that is the very focal point for forgiveness and redemption.
God's forgiveness allows us to be honest with ourselves. We recognize our imperfections admit our failures and plead to God for clemency.
