>> Thoughts to Ponder
- There’s no limit on God’s forgiveness for us (thank goodness!). When we put it in perspective, our sins against our holy God are far worse than anything another person has done to us. Read Jesus’ parable on forgiveness in Matthew 18:23–35.
- If we’re not willing to forgive others, how can we expect God to forgive us (see Matthew 6:14–15)?
