Reading: Luke 17:1-4 NLT

One day Jesus said to his disciples, “There will always be temptations to sin, but what sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting! It would be better to be thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around your neck than to cause one of these little ones to fall into sin. So watch yourselves!

“If another believer sins, rebuke that person; then if there is repentance, forgive. Even if that person wrongs you seven times a day and each time turns again and asks forgiveness, you must forgive.”

Prayer: Lord Jesus – make every day a fresh start with the people in my life. Let me confront and correct myself first. And only then, give me the grace to confront and correct wrongdoing in others… with kindness and mercy. May I be willing to forgive others as frequently and readily as you have forgiven me. To you be all honor and glory. Amen.
