The most important relationships of my life are whole through the miracle of forgiveness. As a teenager I had a smart mouth and a quick temper. My angry words often wounded my parents, but they forgave me every time, and our relationship was restored. Brenda has forgiven me more times that I can count. Leah, too. And the special friends who have stood the test of time have all been generous in forgiving my relational failures. By giving and receiving forgiveness I have been given the best of all gifts—a relationship restored.
“Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.”
— Matthew 5:7 (NIV 1984)
Lord Jesus, thank You for Your great mercy and for the grace You have poured out upon us through our family and friends. Amen.
