"Forgive us our debts, as we have forgiven or debtors." -Matthew 6:12
This Week's Dare is to forgive your mate of everything. And to say "I choose to forgive."
So this passage goes into the fact that if God forgives us our debts, then we should be able to forgive our debtors. They describe it as having a prison where everyone who has hurt you is kept inside. Then Jesus hands you the key to let them out, if you don't take it you stay in the prison stuck with everyone who has wronged you.
And your freedon becomes dependent on your forgiveness.
I am focusing long and hard on forgiving. I feel I can do it, but then if something comes up much like it again I think of it again and am reminded of the hurt. I don't feel I can truly forgive if I feel this way again. sigh. I am praying.
