"Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’"
Matthew 18:32-33 NIV
Reflection:
It is very easy to point out others sins, but if we humbly and sincerely introspect our lives, we will realize our need for God's mercy is far greater than the other. Therefore we have no right to judge another's life. And if anyone does us wrong, we are called to forgive. For this is how Jesus thought us to pray, 'Forgive us, our sins, as we forgive, those who sin against us'. If we ourselves need mercy, we must learn to give it to the other.
Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the sincerity of heart so that you humbly acknowledge the need for mercy. May you accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour as God's gracious gift of mercy. And may his Holy Spirit help you in forgiving those who do you wrong. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
