Forgiving words

Jesus asks us to forgive, forgive and forgive some more. David in the Psalms talks of how God forgives all your offences. Finding forgiveness can take time and we may even need someone’s help. I like it when people use words that encourage forgiveness: It’s not worth losing sleep over. Is any of this going to matter in a year’s time?! There, but for the grace of God, go I. God, help me to use forgiving words too. Sometimes that includes saying sorry.
