Devotion:
Read Matthew 6:12.
“Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.” The Good News Translation puts it this way: Forgive us the wrongs we have done, as we forgive the wrongs that others have done to us. Forgiveness can be difficult because we feel we are justified in our anger, yet we want God to freely grant us forgiveness. God holds us accountable for our forgive-ability. In the words of Max Lucado, “God will treat you the way you treat others. Would you like some peace? Then quit giving your neighbor such a hassle. Want to enjoy God’s generosity? Then let others enjoy yours. Would you like assurance that God forgives you? I think you know what you need to do.”
