Then the Lord said to Moses: In answer to your prayer, I do forgive them. ~ Numbers 14:20 (CEV)
Put up with each other, and forgive anyone who does you wrong, just as Christ has forgiven you. ~ Colossians 3:13 (CEV)
Gracious God, you have been quick to forgive. I'm not so quick in extending forgiveness. I keep looking for evidence that people deserve forgiveness. This means that I probably don't really understand your gracious nature. Teach me about grace and forgiveness so that I become eager to forgive -- as quickly as I have been forgiven. I'm going to think about all that Christ has done to make sure that your forgiveness is available to all. Amen.
