Jesus often created tension where he went – He mixed demographics and treated everyone equal. He often celebrated those who were less committed to Him. This is because His love and compassion abound, endlessly. We don’t have to earn God’s love.
“Forgive us our sins as we forgive others.” – Luke 15:11-32
When we say this in the Lord’s Prayer, we are directly saying that we WILL forgive others.
It’s a daily practice to which we must commit.
To forgive, we have to let go of fairness.
We have to accept being uncomfortable.
Forgiveness allows us to learn, grow, and heal.
To forgive will be hard, and that will pull us closer to God.
Accept His invite to draw closer to Him. Pray for help. Pray for forgiveness and forgive others.
