Feb. 26: Forgive Someone Today

Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar,
and there recall that your brother
has anything against you,
leave your gift there at the altar,
go first and be reconciled with your brother

Think of someone who has hurt you, or someone who you no longer have a good relationship with because of something they did or said. Forgive them. If possible, talk to them or call them. If you can't speak with them, pray that God gives you the opportunity to speak with them soon. Even if you don't "feel" like forgiving them, saying it out loud is a huge step on the journey to forgiveness. This doesn't make everything okay, but it frees you and them from the bitterness and the grudge that you've been holding onto.
