Reflect
Some of the hardest teachings of Jesus to follow are centered around forgiveness. Forgive 70 x 7 times. Be merciful as your heavenly Father is merciful. Turn the other cheek. Love your enemies, do good to them, forgive them. The reality is that you and I will probably spend the rest of our lives learning to forgive as Jesus did.
Pray
God of all forgiveness,
I want to learn forgiveness as you did from the cross.
Break through the barriers of my hardened heart.
Teach me what it means to forgive without being a doormat to other people.
Amen.
Act
Ask the Holy Spirit: Where do I need the light of forgiveness more in my life? Is there someone I am unable to forgive? Why or why not?
