Thought for the Week
from Anglican Mothers Union Australia
Sunday 13th September
Reconciliation
‘We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.’
(2 Corinthians 5:20)
Forgiveness can often be very difficult, especially when some deep wrong is done against us.
It may even be that the other person has passed away. We need to decide to forgive
and then practise forgiveness. But that is not the same as a restoration of relationship.
That occurs when the other party repents and asks for forgiveness without demanding
the status they once enjoyed. So it is with God. His forgiveness is not earned.
But we enter into eternal relationship with him when we acknowledge our sins and crown Jesus as our Lord.
This is called repentance, and it is what Jesus preached.
Question for thought: Am I forgiven? Have I made Jesus my Lord?
Loving Lord, we pray this week for members in the Diocese of Dublin and Glendalough in Ireland.
We thank you for the faithfulness of members and their commitment to the maternity
and children’s hospitals and the Mission to Seafarers. May they honour you in all they do. Amen
