I'm Sorry - I Forgive You

Day Twenty - Thirty Days of Thanksgiving

I grateful for the gifts of repentance and forgiveness. In day to day life these smooth ruffled feathers, restore peace, and allow us to move forward. In the eternal scheme of things repenting of sins and being forgiven by God is a gift that brings us closer to Him, and will eventually allow us to enter His presence and live with Him eternally. Now that's something to give thanks for!

Indebtedness and Forgiveness - More Christ in Christmas

My Christmas ABC's

D is for debt. Jesus taught us to pray, "And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." (Matthew 6:12 KJV)

In this season of goodwill perhaps there is someone we can finally forgive, and maybe that someone is ourself; or we can be more instantly forgiving of the little prickles and irritations of daily life. We can keep forefront in our minds that Jesus has already paid the debts of everyone. He requires only that we repent of our own sins, and forgive others who have sinned against us. That's a tall order, but He is there with us every step of the way, because He is The Way.
