Infinite Forgiveness

"God forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone in debt to us" 

-- Luke 11:4 / New King James Version

God's power to forgive, like His love, in infinite.  Despite your shortcomings, despite your sins, God offers you immediate forgiveness and eternal life when you accept Christ as your Savior.

As a believer who is the recipient of God's forgiveness, how should you  behave towards others? Should you forgive them (just as God has forgive you), or should you remain embittered and resentful? The answer, of course, is found in God's Word:  you are instructed to forgive others. When you do, you not only obey God's command, you also free yourself from a prison of your own making.

Lord, when we ask for forgiveness, You give it.  Thank You, Father, for forgiving us when we make mistakes.  I pray that in the coming days, we will be quick to forgive others, just as You have forgiven us.
