Bottom line, we all sin and are in need of a Savior - Jesus Christ. Jesus extends grace and forgiveness to us and wants to use His children to demonstrate Jesus to others as a means to bring others to Him. If we are vengeful and spiteful we fail to follow Jesus in this regard.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an awesome God who loves me and who is SO full of grace for me - thank You Jesus! I am not worth such love and compassion. I worry. Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome and turn from my sin towards others. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
Do not pay attention to every word people say, or you may hear your servant cursing you—for you know in your heart that many times you yourself have cursed others. v21-22

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Colossians 3:13
