Forgiveness
As I was preparing for a sermon from Luke 11:1-13 I discovered this demonstration of forgiveness:
This prayer was found in the clothing of a dead child at Ravensbruck
concentration camp. "O Lord, remember not only the men and women of
good will, but also those of ill will. But do not remember all of the suffering
they have inflicted upon us. Instead remember the fruits we have borne
because of this suffering, our fellowship, our loyalty to one another, our
generosity, the greatness of heart that has grown from this trouble. When
our persecutors come to be judged by you, let all these fruits that we have
borne be their forgiveness.
The sermon focus was on the " ! " at the end of 11:13, therefore I omitted this story from the sermon. I share it with you because when I found the story I thought, "This needs an audience!"
