Ministering grace and love: Renew your thinking

Lord, may I be slow to take offence and quick to offer forgiveness.

Offering forgiveness is an act of grace. We all make mistakes. Forgiveness does not ignore the wound the other person has inflicted. We recognise the hurt and feel the anger. Yet forgiveness is an act of generosity that liberates both the other person and us. As you reflect on the last few days, what words or actions caused hurt or resentment? Is there anything that hinders you from offering forgiveness?
