Even as you hit the fast lane of life with furious strides that brook no brakes, won’t you pause a moment to grab a grain of scriptural truth embedded herein ? (click on hypertext in the Day’s Reading for reference verse)
No obligations! You are ofcourse perfectly at liberty to skip these Readings altogether. Should that be your choice, go ahead – save 30 seconds!

Forgive us our trespasses…..
It is interesting that we can set the degree to which we want forgiveness from God, for this sentence ends with the phrase ” as we forgive those who trespass against us”. The onus then, is on us! There is little point in importuning God with our feverish and pathetic pleas for forgiveness when He has already given the handle in our hand.
To many Christians this is not easy. They have lovingly nurtured feelings of hurt and grudge for so long that the very idea of ‘letting go’is anathema to them.
Are you forgiven?
