Dear God,
I find it so hard to forgive those who are unkind to me,
or who blame me for things which are not my fault.
I go on bearing a grudge against them
and even when they try to make it up
I feel bitter and hard.
I know this is wrong.
When Peter asked Jesus how many times
he ought to forgive someone who had wronged him,
Jesus said he must go on and on forgiving.
Jesus even prayed for forgiveness for those who crucified Him.
Please help me to be more like Him and be willing to forgive.
Nancy Martin

Be kind and compassionate to one another,
forgiving each other,
just as in Christ God forgave you.

I love this graphic and it so well represents the weight of an unforgiving heart. Eric, I appreciate as well the way you are using portions of last Sunday’s text in each day’s posting.
