If we expect God to forgive our sins then we must be willing to forgive the people who hurt or offend us. Jesus teaches his disciples, in this gospel, the importance of forgiving without limits. Jesus shares a parable stressing that God wants us to forgive one another and not to hold grudges. What a wonderful world it would be if everyone was a forgiving person. If we want our children to be caring and loving, we must teach by our example. When your child asks for forgiveness, telling you that they are sorry about something, we are gifting them the richness of forgiveness. Holding grudges and harboring bitterness constricts our hearts, but forgiveness allows the capacity of our heart to love and grow.
