We all long for genuine friendships. They make things more fun and bring a little bit of meaning to our lives. According to this passage, one of the keys to having deep and healthy friendships is accepting each other’s faults and offering each other forgiveness. Just like God provided forgiveness to us through Jesus, He wants us to extend that same kind of forgiveness to others—even when it’s difficult! Because He knows that when we do, we’re opening ourselves and our friendships up to becoming better in the long run. Try to memorize this verse this week. Let it be a reminder of the way you’ve been forgiven by God and a motivation to offer that same forgiveness to others.
