Matthew 18:15-35
Repentance and forgiveness… Which is easier, to repent or to forgive? Maybe a better question is – which is harder? And where am I, where are you, on repentance and forgiveness?
Repentance and forgiveness… I’m trying to think of any bigger item between us and God than repentance – our need for sincere, daily repentance. Only one other item comes to mind – prayer, and its subset, praise. It’s all that our Father wants – our repentance before Him and our prayer with Him, our praise to Him. Our “works” are nice, but He has billions of people and an infinite number of angels who can get His work done. Sincere repentance, humble prayer, genuine praise. It’s not too much to ask. So why is it so hard…??!!
