God, I have done this, and I have done it completely. I have turned my heart from yours so greatly that I was able to look at and treat your child as the Pharisee’s of old treated Lepers. God, I have hardened my heart to your love, and I have hated the sins of others so much that I found them unlovable, undesirable, not a part of my very own body. Jesus, cleanse me of this judgement and renew me with your love. Forgive me for leaving him to be unforgiven and forgotten. Father, if you forgave my trespasses the way I forgave those that trespassed against me, I would be a unforgiven and hated mess. You alone are good. Have mercy on me, a sinner.

“Father, if you forgave my trespasses the way I forgave those that trespassed against me, I would be a unforgiven and hated mess.”
That rang so true with me.
I love you, friend.
