When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are
forgiven."
God does not keep a record of our wrongs, but God is ready to forgive us and those who hurt
us. All we have to do is repent and ask for God's forgiveness and love. And God is ready and
eager to give it to you.
Then our life will be filled with many blessings.
(Mark 2.5
NRSV)
Tokyo police recently arrested a man who was upset over being denied entrance to graduate
school 14 years ago. Since that day he has averaged about 10 phone calls a night--between
the hours of 8 p.m. and 2 a.m.--to the former professor whom he blames for his lost
opportunity. Those 14 years of annoying phone calls totaled up to over 50,000 calls. The
desire for revenge, retribution, blood can be overwhelming for some people, but not for God.
Dear God, fill my life with your many blessings of hope and forgiveness. Amen.
