[Ohio-Communities-of-Faith] Undeserved Mercy by Max Lucado

[Maggie Stringer]

Forgiveness is the act of applying your undeserved mercy to your undeserved
hurts. You didn’t deserve to be hurt, but neither do you deserve to be
forgiven. Does it not make sense to give grace to others? You’ve been
immersed in forgiveness, submerged in grace. Can you, standing as you are,
shoulder-high in God’s ocean of grace, not fill a cup and offer the
happiness of forgiveness to others?

In 2015 the world watched in horror as ISIS released its hatred on the
streets of Paris. Antoine Leiris lost his wife to their bullets. But he did
not lose his heart to hate. He resolved to focus his energy on loving his
son, not hating his attackers.

Let’s do likewise. Offer to others the grace you’ve been given. It’s time
to forgive, just as God, in Christ, forgave you. This is how happiness
happens.
