Forgiveness

Are you monitoring your level of forgiveness? Do you find it easy or difficult to forgive others?
In regards to forgiveness, we must be watchful of ourselves. We must be willing to correct those who sin against us and stand ready to forgive when they repent.
In Luke’s gospel, Jesus taught on forgiveness, saying, “Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.” (Luke 17:3-4, ESV).
Forgiveness is never an option for the follower of Jesus. We must be willing to forgive. Repentance awaits a forgiving response.
May we pay attention to ourselves, be willing to correct those who sin against us, and when they repent, may we forgive as Jesus has forgiven us.
A Collect for Mission III: “O God, you manifest in your servants the signs of your presence: Send forth upon us the Spirit of love, that in companionship with one another your abounding grace may increase among us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
