February 27 Devotion

Read Matthew 18:10-22


Everyone.  Every single one is important to God.  God wants no one to be lost and left outside.  God never writes people off.  And we can’t either.  Even folks who have sinned against us and refuse to make things right are worthy of love and forgiveness.  Every. Single. Person.


Just how many times should we forgive folks? How much is enough? Jesus told Simon Peter an outrageous number symbolic of saying you never stop forgiving.  Don’t try to count. Forgiveness that we offer others is to be up to par with the outrageous level that God forgives us.  It is through forgiving others that we demonstrate what God is like.  We need to put no stumbling block in someone’s path to receiving forgiveness from God. Clear the path.  Clear the air.  Clear the relationship.  Forgive as God has forgiven you.
