Truth Encounter: The Lord's Prayer
Forgive Us Our Debts (Matthew 6:12)
Remember the friends you used to get together with at least once a week, but now you can hardly get out a brief greeting when you run in to them at the post office? What happened to this relationship? Is there one of your adult children who hardly ever calls you on the phone or refuses to let you take care of your grandchildren? Why haven't you healed from the blow up that you had with them years ago? Maybe neither of these illustrations apply to you, but if you stop and think about it--unforgiveness is as common as sneezing and runny noses in allergy season. How can we stop ourselves from becoming more and more closed to relationships as we grow older?
