I became privy to something that happened the other day that has very unfortunate consequences for someone I know. I will not say what it is, though some of you who read this may know about it and may be able to guess what it is. For what I want to talk about, please know that those involved will need prayer and trust that God will know of whom you are praying. If you know what I'm talking about, please do not state it here. Besides, for what I want to talk about today, it is not necessary to know the exact circumstances.
What does matter is that what happened led to Mom and I having a discussion on forgiveness. We got to talking about the power of forgiveness. Scripture reminds us that if we confess our sons, God is faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us of all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Forgiveness, especially God's forgiveness of sins, is transformative.
I'm going to have to wrap this up early. More on forgiveness tomorrow.
