Galatians 6

"If someone falls into sin, forgivingly restore him, saving your critical comments for yourself. You might be needing forgiveness before the day is out." (The Message)

Paul brings his book to close with a series of statements on how to live the life of faith. This is the line that struck me. I might be frustrated with the actions of another person, but I need to be careful. In the the coming moments I may need the same forgiveness I am offering the person. I am very aware the temptation to want others to always forgive me, while being slow to forgive others.
