Moving OnSample

Jesus’ words here are so important. When we receive God’s forgiveness for our mistakes and mess-ups, it gives us the ability to forgive others for their mistakes and mess-ups, too. In other words, just as much as we have been forgiven, we have to forgive others. We can’t simply receive God’s forgiveness and love without giving the same back to others. When we find the freedom to forgive ourselves because of Jesus’ forgiveness, the best thing we can do is to forgive others, too. 

Try writing a letter to someone you need to forgive. You can even write a letter to yourself! The goal isn’t to give the letter to anyone; it’s simply to practice showing the forgiveness that Jesus offers us all.
