Series: The Lord's Prayer
Forgive Us as We Forgive
Forgiveness is received and given in the same breath.
We ask to be forgiven in the same sentence where we promise to forgive. That is a hard line, and it deserves a slow reading.
Three things to take home
- Forgiveness is not pretending nothing happened.
- It is a decision that can take many tries.
- Being forgiven is what makes forgiving others possible.
Questions for a small group
- Is there someone you have been meaning to forgive?
- What helps you keep going when forgiving feels slow?
