Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. (Matthew 6:11-12 NIV)
It is beginning to dawn on me, as I spend time in daily reflection on these verses, that God's mercy is perhaps the central theme of the Bible. The story of man's salvation is almost summed up in these statements from the prayer Jesus taught his friends.
Powerful perspective. Many echoes of these needs, both in my life and in the lives of all people.
Today, I will pray the Our Father for myself, asking for God's mercy on me and my family.
