The Talmud, the compilation of Jewish oral tradition, suggests that God also wants our forgiveness. How is this possible? I have a very loving dentist, and as he drills away at my tooth, he constantly asks me to forgive him for the pain he is causing me. And although everything he is doing is only for my good, it's possible for me to forget that at times and feel angry. And, so, too, in this sometimes painful and challenging life of becoming perfect, it's important, for our own sakes, to forgive God — even though deep down we intuit that everything that happens is an expression of ultimate goodness. The opportunity to serve God and be a vehicle for His process of becoming perfect is the very gift of life.
