Good Words for Today: March 4

“Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors” (Matthew 6:12). Some questions to ponder: Am I up-to-date on my forgiving? Am I holding a grudge against anyone? Am I harboring any bitterness against any person? Am I talking too much about what others have done to me? Have I forgiven those closest to me who have hurt me so deeply? None of this is easy. Forgiveness will cost us a great deal. But we will be helped if we remember how much the Lord Jesus went through in order to forgive us. Jesus died to create a race of forgiving men and women. Forgiven people forgive people.
