Thought for the day...forgiveness!

"Humility is the posture of forgiveness, allowing us to see ourselves in those who offend us, to offer mercy, instead of punishment, to acknowledge that we are all noble ruins, and to draw together in human community."
"We have been shown such amazing grace, how could we withhold forgiveness from another?"

-Why Sin Matters by Mark R. McMinn

This is a fantastic book about the relationship between our own sins and our God's grace!! My brother, Jason, gave this to me on my birthday a few years back!! He also wrote down a scripture that goes right along with this book's theme:
"The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign in righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Romans 5:20-21
