“Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others.…” -Matthew 6:12
Large scale or small, a daily discipline or miraculous moment of transformation, forgiveness plays out in many different ways in our lives. Living in relationship with others (family, community, church) means that we will have disagreements and conflict, hurt feelings and broken promises.
Take some time today to consider where you need to tend to forgiveness in your life. Is there a person you need to ask for forgiveness from? Is there a circumstance in which you have been resisting offering forgiveness? Is there something you would like to ask God for freedom from?
God you are holy and you are generous. You are perfect and you understand our imperfection. May your Spirit guide and inspire my practice and discipline of forgiveness as I both extend and receive this gift. Amen.
some comfort and joy
