us that love means having to say your sorry and sorry and sorry
again. The more you love, the more you can forgive; and, the more
you are forgiven, the more you can love.
Jesus teaches the forgivenss equals love equation in Luke 7:41,42.
"There was a certain creditor who had two debtors. One owed five
hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 'And when they had nothing
with which to repay, he freely forgave them both. Tell Me,
therefore, which of them will love him more?’ NKJ
To love is to forgive, and to forgive is not only to love but also to be
loved. Which comes first, love or forgiveness?
May God's love so fill our lives that forgiveness may begin with us.
