forgiveness

one of my big boys and i were talking.

he and a friend are having a disagreement.
 

like a hypocritical preacher woman, i asked my boy what would Jesus do.

he answered forgive.

i asked so what should you do?

he answered i'm not forgiving him.

 

BAM!
just like that it hit me.

that is how Jesus feels about me.

he tells me over and over the right thing to do.

i keep letting me get in the way.

the next morning i read this:

 

the Lord, your God, shall you follow, and him shall you fear;
his commandment shall you observe, and his voice shall you heed, serving him and holding fast to him alone.
deuteronomy 13:5

i got the message loud and clear.
it says nothing about me.
it is all about Him.
