Thoughts to Ponder
Forgive those who have sinned against you. Forgive as God forgave you. This is, in the manner God forgave you. Imitate God in forgiving others. There is no peace, no reconciliation, apart from forgiveness.

Ephesians 4:32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Ephesians 5:1,2 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
