Forgiveness of Others

Scripture in Matthew 6:14-15 teaches us the vital importance of forgiving others, stating, "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." This passage underscores the reciprocal nature of forgiveness and highlights our calling to extend the same grace and mercy that we receive from God. Through prayer, we ask the Lord to help us forgive others, seeking a heart of compassion and mercy free from bitterness or resentment. By emulating God's unconditional love and forgiveness, we can mend relationships and find peace.

Prayer: Lord, help me to forgive others as You have forgiven me. Give me a heart of compassion and mercy, and free me from any bitterness or resentment. Teach me to love and forgive as You do. Amen.
