Isaiah 55:10-11

Luke 5:27-32

   
Scripture
"For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you."
Reflection
The Scriptures make it clear that forgiving others is essential if we want the Lord to forgive us. However, it sometimes seems that the ability to forgive is nearly impossible to realize. In times when I have struggled with wanting to hold on to my grievances towards others, I have finally had to lay them at the Lord's feet and ask Him to give me the grace to forgive. Only then, do I experience the freedom and joy that forgiving others brings.
Mantra
Lord, give us the grace to forgive.
by: R. Martin
