The Kitchen Table Devotional:  The Game of Life  Day 40

“Prayer”

And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
¹³ ‘And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from  evil. [For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.’]  ¹⁴ For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. ¹⁵ But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.

Matthew 6:12-15

Ask for the greatest gift, forgiveness.  Forgiveness is the key to every other gift in life.  With forgiveness we can receive and without it we will refuse the things in life that make life work.  The forgiveness of God is so powerful that it will set a person free to set others free too.  We all have forever, what we need is forgiveness because it’s forgiveness that determines where we will spend forever.  Without forgiveness we all fall into some sort of violence in this world.  We find forgiveness at the head of the table, in the strongest hands with the biggest heart.  While you’re there at the head of the table ask for the greatest gift for yourself and others, the gift of forgiveness, it will set you free.
