Forgiveness doesn't happen in isolation. Jesus places his teaching about unlimited forgiveness within the context of community — a place where we hold one another accountable, where we name harm, and where we seek reconciliation together. This kind of community requires vulnerability and trust. It asks us to show up honestly, to listen deeply, and to believe that restoration is possible even when relationships have been wounded. We need each other for this journey.
Prayer: Lord, help me to be both truthful and tender in community, holding others accountable with love and humility.
