Evening: Psalm 33; Malachi 3:13 – 4:6; Matthew 18:21-35
You can easily forget how much you receive through the generosity of others, and then fail to be generous yourself. Forgiving others is an act of generosity. Jesus suggests that it will not go well with you if you receive forgiveness but fail to forgive those who offend you. It’s not that you will be literally tortured by the powers that be if you fail to forgive. It’s that by holding onto anger and bitterness you will torture your own soul. Genuine forgiveness comes from your heart; it probably heals your soul, too.
