Evening: Psalms 64, 65; Luke 7:36-50
It is fascinating that when I read Scripture carefully, it often reveals things I had not noticed at first, usually because I made assumptions. Like, I assume that Jesus forgives the woman who washes his feet because she shows him love. If I read carefully, though, it says she shows him loved because she first experiences forgiveness. Forgiveness is not a reward for love; forgiveness is love. And love springs from knowing you are forgiven. So ... Whom do I need to forgive? My forgiveness might just free someone else to give and receive love, too. Love begets love.
