Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors
Matthew 6: 12 (NIV)
Thoughts:
This verse is an excerpt from the Lord's Prayer. It is a very well known passage that people recite by memory without taking time to absorb the words being repeated. This verse is stating that we wish for God to forgive us our "debts"(sins committed ),as we forgive others, who hurt and disappoint us. Interesting huh?Digging deeper in to the verse one sees that if an individual is bad at forgiving than their sins will not be as easily forgiven by God. Forgiveness is crucial to the Christian walk. An unforgiving heart leaves too many baggages which blocks the route to God and as a Christian we must fight to remove all blocks that keeps us from Him.
May the Lord Help us to forgive. Amen.
