DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings 8:31-66; Jer. 16; Philippians 1:21 to 2:11
Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow servant, even as I had pity on thee? Matthew 18:32-33
When I am struggling with a spirit of unforgiveness, I am actually struggling to view myself as God sees me—instead of seeing myself as forgiven, I see myself as innocent. In this disillusioned state, I risk making much of little—exaggerating the wrong done against me. Let us forgive as we have been forgiven. —Jason Bechtel
Remember Christ, our Saviour,
Who paid the debts you owed,
To God the Heavenly Father,
And to you mercy showed. —Robert. E. Smith
