S – Matthew 18:33 “’Shouldn’t you have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?’” – In Jesus’ story, the king to his servant who owed him a great debt.
O – We should forgive others JUST AS Jesus has forgiven us.
A – I’m impatient and slow to forgive people, especially those close to me. Today, I want to focus on the way Jesus has forgiven me and seek to do the same for others. I have already failed at it today. I need the Holy Spirit to help!
P – Lord, thank you for the forgiveness you offer through Jesus. I am selfish and shortsighted in the forgiveness I offer. Please help me to forgive JUST AS you have forgiven me.
Is there anyone you need to forgive today?
