Tuesday of the First Week of Lent - March 8, 2022
Isaiah 55:10-11 Matthew 6:7-15
In
this scripture, God is telling us that he will never give up on us. He will
always be there with us and he won’t leave.
When
I read this scripture, I like to think of God’s Word as a downpour of rain. His
word is coming down from the heavens to relieve us of our sin like a flood
washing it all away.
Just
as God will never give up on us, we should never give up on each other and our
fellow humans. If a friend hurts you or says something that is offensive to
you, give them a second chance and forgive them.
Today’s
Gospel message tells us not to hold grudges. If you hold a grudge against
somebody, you are not giving them that second chance that they, as human
beings, deserve.
Honestly,
I’m not very good at forgiving people and giving them second chances, but I’m
still going to try my best. I’m going to try to understand their point of view.
Q: Who do I need to forgive? From whom do I need to ask forgiveness? Make a plan to reconcile this Lent.
