Today Angela Kruse talks about the parable of the unmerciful servant and its importance in helping us understand the importance and power of forgiveness.

Matthew 18:21-35

Are you currently holding a grudge against anyone, even a little one? Is there anyone in your life who, when you think of them, you have bad thoughts or feelings about them?

The Lord challenges us to forgive others from our hearts. Choose forgiveness today, releasing the other person to the Lord, not holding judgment in self-righteousness against them. Forgiveness doesn't mean you have to trust the other person; trust is earned. But forgiveness is a choice we make every day to let God be the righteous judge and to extend to others what we want to receive ourselves from God and from others: forgiveness.
