Comparisons of forgiveness

2/29/2020

Scripture:
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Romans 3:23 NIV

Application:
Unforgiving people seek to show how others are undeserving of their forgiveness. They see the wrongdoers falling short of the qualifications for being forgiven.
But that's using the measuring stick the wrong way.
The measuring stick isn't placed on how the offender compares to our expectations of them, but how far short we fall from meeting God's expectations of us.
And that's a long, long distance.

Prayer:
Father, please remind me to see how You've forgiven me whenever I judge others harshly. Amen.
