We were trying so hard, but we let our feelings get the better of us and we snapped, lost our temper, or said something rude. And as for that person who hurt us, we can’t stop those negative thoughts about them crowding into our mind. We feel like ignoring them next time we meet… All those things we think, say and do that we wish we hadn’t thought, said or done... Forgiven. Sorted. Gone. By God, through Jesus. They have been dealt with. All we have to do is be sorry. Really sorry. If we ask God to forgive us, he will. Over and over again. In the prayer Jesus taught his disciples, he gives us the opportunity to do that every time in the words, ‘Forgive us…’ Let’s ask God to help us take that for real, not for granted. Over and over again. But what about when we need to forgive other people? Ah. That’s not so easy! But it’s what we are told to do. By Jesus, who died for us, but also for people who hurt us. Let’s ask God for his love for them, so that we can forgive, just as we have been forgiven. Over and over again.
