Give and Takeഉദാഹരണം
Have you ever forgotten to pay someone back? The debt hangs over you, making each interaction more awkward until you finally come up with what you owe. Now, imagine if that person suddenly said, "Don't worry about it. The debt is canceled; someone else took care of it." That would be amazing, right? Well, that’s the kind of forgiveness Jesus offers us. He tells us how our willingness to forgive others can help us open up to receiving forgiveness ourselves. It’s not that God’s forgiveness depends on ours; rather, forgiving others allows us to better understand the forgiveness God offers us. For us, forgiveness is a process. Sure, it takes time, but it's a journey worth taking.
Today, reflect on any "debts" you're holding against others. How might releasing those debts change your relationship with them and with God? Choose one specific grievance and write it down on a piece of paper. Then, as a symbolic act of canceling the debt, tear up the paper and throw it away.
