SELF-EXAMINATION (Day 2 of 7)
(Need to start at the beginning? Day 1)
I think the thing that stood out to me the most was the difference in what was owed. God forgives us of so much. By comparison, the harm done to us by others is so much smaller, and yet we have such a terrible time forgiving and offering grace.
‘And should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?’ Matthew 18:33 ESV
Take some time today and talk to God about offering grace to others (undeserved favor, something they cannot earn). Look at how you have handled things in the past, especially in your marriage.
Where do you struggle? What would make a difference in your ability to let go of offense? What would it mean for you to offer grace to your spouse?
