I had to memorize this and recite it for a drama class I took in high school.
It's funny....I still have this in my memory...along with most of The Midnight Ride Of Paul Revere and The Raven, by Edgar Allen Poe.....randomness, I know, but my randomness none the less....and sometimes something will trigger one of these back to the forefront of my mind.
Today's triggering moment for this excerpt from The Merchant of Venice was not ultimately a "happy" trigger, but even in the moments of struggle we learn things. It is easy to appreciate that God gives me grace and mercy and that he forgives my offenses, but when I am wronged or feel wronged...that's a different story, right?! I am not always as merciful as I should be.
I am thankful for forgiveness.
