I forgive you he said as the boot on his throat choked the life out of him. Sorry, too much forgiving going on.
“... Forgive us our trespasses AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US.”
Your reward will be great in heaven, Mrs. W. Well done.
What some don’t realize is that forgiveness is not handing out licenses to walk all over us. I have forgiven people in my life of whom I am very careful. They will not have the chance to wrong me again.
Forgiveness is Mercy and Grace, as God grants us. He doesn’t say, “Go on sinning.” He expects us not to sin. We can’t control someone else’s behavior, but we can control our reaction.
