God put me in my place again:

1. I asked God, "God, how am I supposed to forgive him? What example am I supposed to follow—Jesus never had a girlfriend; there's nothing in the Bible like that.
2. God said, "Show love, mercy and compassion just as He did to the prostitutes and tax collectors."
3. "But God, they didn't do anything wrong to Him (it's easy to show love to people who haven't wronged you)."
4. "But remember how He died? How the world sinned against Me? And He died for YOU—to save YOU? No one, not one, deserved it; but your debt has been paid."

If He can love like that, I can too, because I was made in His image.

If Jesus can pardon many people's sins like that, then what's 1 person for me?

God, I ask for continued strength for my tasks ahead

and a heart that's ready to forgive.
