Forgive us our trespasses...


There are times when we fail; we make a promise to ourselves to do something or not to do something, then fail miserably.

Perhaps it's part of human nature that we like to believe we can choose to do something and it will be done.

We have a free will and we can make choices, yet we also have weaknesses that trip us up and reveal to us just how vulnerable we truly are.

In the Our Father prayer we ask, 'Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us...'

Such a great prayer, presenting us with two sides, how we look at ourselves and how we look at others.

God readily forgives us when we are sorry. Let's follow His good example and forgive from our heart those who may hurt or disappoint us.
