Forgiveness

Who am I to accuse anyone? Who am I to lay blame, to require recompense?

I am guilty of being that wicked servant in Jesus' parable of forgiveness. After the King has been surpassingly gracious in forgiving my impossible debt, I run out from His presence and demand that another person who owes me only a tiny amount make payment immediately or be thrown in jail.

How much mercy I accept, and how little I bestow.

I desire to relinquish all of my debt collecting responsibilities. I desire that my response would automatically be: "You owe me nothing. I am simply blessed by any good you bring to my life. Any bad you bring to my life is not my concern to deal with."

As far as I'm concerned, if you have wronged me, you are forgiven.
