No. 25D The Lords Prayer 4
/And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Matthew 6:12
In yet another reminder to aim for the Mark of perfection, a shiny gold coin is set before us. Heads we forgive, tails we are forgiven. There are two sides to every valuable coin. A one-sided coin is useless. A one-sided useless coin would want to be forgiven without forgiving others, or the other side: would forgive without asking God for forgiveness.
Forgive us our sins. To ask God for mercy and forgiveness should make us stop to think about what we did wrong, about how we missed the Mark. The hypothetical or general wrong is good enough. This is why it is so important to study the Mark until it is part of daily consciousness (i.e.…and my words abide in you John 15:7). We need to know exactly what we want to be forgiven for so we can evolve into immortal children of God. We can’t wait for official confession time. Like daily bread, we need to look at the target daily and see how many arrows landed off the Mark, and how many fell on the floor.
As we forgive our debtors, or (all) those who trespass against us. Let’s turn every dagger thrown at us into a chisel to help form us like Michelangelo David.
Think about how or when Christ suffered as you did. Being the victim has energy. Will you use that energy to build, or to destroy (yourself)?
No wonder the Kingdom of God is such a peaceful place. No one holds a grudge here, and everyone knows the reasons why he or she was forgiven and is all the more grateful.
Peace:Life.
