There are many things in life that are a "two-way street." In order to reap rewards, we need to plant the right seeds. To get the outcomes we desire, we need to put in the right amount and type of work. When it comes to being forgiven, we are also called to forgive!
Jesus calls us to forgive. He teaches us to pray for forgiveness, but also to forgive others. This is not always easy to do, but it is necessary. We need to learn from the example and words of Jesus. We can learn from the situations and people that God provides in our lives. Most importantly, we need to trust in God's forgiveness and call on Him to give us the strength to forgive. We are forgiven, we need to forgive!
God has forgiven you. Call on and trust in Him so you can forgive others!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for forgiving me. Help me to forgive others. Through Jesus, my Savior, I pray, amen.
