 Accident Forgiveness


Accident Forgiveness

Matthew 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

The other day I was involved in a little fender-bender on the freeway. It was rush hour traffic and as we moved our vehicles off to the side, I couldn’t help but think how this was my fault. Sure the law would look at it as the other driver’s fault, but …
We got out of our cars and ran to each other to see how each other was. As we talked, the young man looked at the damage on my car and much to my relief, there is only a little dent in the bumper with a couple of scratches. The other car was an old klunker.

 I asked the young man if his car was ok. He said to not worry about it, it was old and he didn’t want to bother with it. I told him that if he wanted to we could exchange information, but as far as I was concerned, it was ok and I didn’t want to. There was a huge smile of relief on his face. He gave me a hug and we got back into our cars and drove off.

Forgiveness. Isn’t that what God does for us? Doesn’t He forgive our “accidents”? Wow. If God can forgive me and give His Only Son to die in my place, then who am I to not do the same for others?

Psalms 86:5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
There was a sense of real peace as I continued my drive to work.

Father, Thank You for your unending patience with our human mistakes. Thank you for forgiving us more than Seventy times Seven. Oh Lord, we know we don’t deserve it, and we are so grateful for your love for us, even when we can’t possibly understand. We love You, Lord, and all we do is for Your honor and Glory.
Amen
