A few days ago in my quiet time I was having trouble forgiving someone who had wronged me. The offence was rather a small one, only four dollars were lost, but it got my back up just the same.  I couldn’t believe how hard it was to forgive such a small thing that happened years ago! Thankfully God gave me the grace to forgive that person.

When seeing how hard it was for me to forgive that one, four-dollar sin, I really appreciate the fact that God forgave the sins of the world!

Isaiah 12

 In that day you will say:

    “I will praise you, O LORD .Although you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you have comforted me. Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD is my strength and mysong; he has become my salvation.”

In that day you will say:

    “Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted. Sing to the LORD, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to all the world. Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel among you.”

The first part of this chapter is like when God paid for our sins. And in the second part, I give thanks to the LORD because He helped me forgive that person. The glorious things He has done are all the times He has helped someone forgive. I know that God has done a lot of glorious things, but right now I'm just focusing on forgivness.
