TUESDAY, May 17
Matthew 6:14-15 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Many of the sins have to do with timeliness. I often underestimate how long a task will take and make an impossible promise. Once in a while, I lack discipline. Sometimes, I succumb to the pressure to tell someone what they want to hear.
Thank you, God, that your forgiveness is not based upon how others forgive me, but in how I forgive. Assist me in not putting others to this test.
MOVING FORWARD: Do you need help forgiving today? Take it to the Lord in prayer.
