And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.  Matthew 6:12  NASB

Forgive – This is enough for today:

A great Hasidic rabbi, Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev, once prayed this way:

“Lord of the universe, I want to propose a deal. We have many sins. You have much forgiveness. 

Let us exchange our sins for Your forgiveness. 

And if You should say that this is not a fair exchange, then my reply is:

If we had no sins, what would You do with all Your forgiveness?”
