Matthew 6:14-15
14 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 15 but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
We who are recovering from sexual brokenness should certainly be forgiving of others. For we have been forgiven much by God. It is interesting how we sometimes can be very judgemental of others when we are caught up in our sin, as if we want to somehow separate ourselves from our own sin. But we are all broken sinners in need of God's grace. Once we embrace the notion of our own sin and God's great mercy toward us, it is easier to forgive others who are like us.
Lord, thank you for forgiving me.
