Your Word for Today:
A reading from the Gospel of Matthew 18:21-35
Reflect: Matthew reminds us that forgiveness has no limit. Just as God forgives us, we are called to forgive others - not because they deserve it, but because forgiveness sets our own hearts free from anger, hurt and the desire for revenge.
Do: Whenever we bring our confessions to God in worship, we hear the words of absolution in response. This is to remind us that God always chooses forgiveness and restoration over retribution. Then as we allow this to teach and change us, we learn to make forgiveness our habitual choice.
Pray: As you forgive me, even though I don't deserve it, O God, so I choose to forgive those who have hurt me. Amen π
Have a Peaceful and Blessed Sunday π
