FORGIVE ONE ANOTHER


Sirach 28:2-3

Forgive a wrong done you by your neighbor;
Then your sins will be pardoned when you pray.
Can a man preserve wrath against his neighbor
And still seek healing from the Lord?

Personal Challenge

God has an economy of life that is so much different than the way that the world works. First, He asks us to love Him, then He asks that we love our neighbor. We may ask who our neighbor is and the answer always comes back that everyone is our neighbor, including our enemies. Finally, He asks us to forgive our neighbor, and our enemies, for anything that they have done to us. This is the ultimate act of love for another. This is also where we will see Gods' acts of love, mercy, grace, and forgiveness playing out in our lives. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!
