Receiving Forgiveness

There are two sides to forgiveness: giving and receiving. Although at first sight giving seems to be harder, it often appears that we are not able to offer forgiveness to others because we have not been able fully to receive it. Only as people who have accepted forgiveness can we find the inner freedom to give it.
-- Henri Nouwen

Lord, if You can forgive us, You can help us to receive forgiveness.
Grateful

Father, I count myself blessed, how happy I am -I get a fresh start, my slate's wiped clean. I count myself blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) - You, Father, are holding nothing against me and You're not holding anything back from me
