Forgiveness

Proverbs 25

21 If your enemies are hungry, give them food to eat.
      If they are thirsty, give them water to drink.
 22 You will heap burning coals of shame on their heads,
      and the Lord will reward you.

This wisdom from the proverbs comes up in the Gospels when Jesus reminds His followers to love their enemies, and treat others with respect and dignity always. I still struggle with this one, and today I ask that God will help me to be more loving even of those who choose not to love in return. Especially those who do not treat my babies in a loving manner. Yeah, I am still struggling with that one, and I ask for God’s forgiveness as I forgive those whom I need to forgive.
