Gracious and loving God, you are good to
all;
your compassion is over all you have
made.
In gratitude help us to love and serve you
with all our heart, and with all our soul.
Through Christ we are reconciled to you,
and we receive the ministry of
reconciliation.
You have not counted our trespasses
against us;
make us ready to forgive those who do harm
to us.

The Lord is good
to all,
and his compassion is over all that he has made.

If you will only

2 Cor. 5:18-19
All this is from
God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry
of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to
himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message
of reconciliation to us.
Luke 17:4
"…And if
the same person sins against you seven times a day, and turns back to you seven
times and says, 'I repent,' you must forgive." [Jesus to his disciples]
