‘To err is human, to forgive divine’ (Alexander Pope)
God invites us to be involved in the divine work of forgiveness. This comes at a cost to us. We are called to be a forgiving people, reflecting God’s grace to us unto others. There are times when forgiveness is not our ‘default position’, when it takes us beyond the edge of what we consider ‘reasonable’. By the time we have forgiven someone ‘seventy times seven’ it would be such a habit, such a part of our identity that we would truly be reflecting the forgiveness of God.
Grace and Peace,
