Daily Reflection

Manatu Taua

Forgiveness begins by remembering how much you were forgiven.

E amata le fa'amagaloga i le manatuaina o lou lava fa'amagaloga.

Scriptural Context / Va'aiga Fa'aletusi Pa'ia

Ephesians 4 instructs the church about the new life. Before reaching forgiveness, Paul calls for the removal of bitterness and harmful speech. This verse grounds forgiveness toward one another in the forgiveness believers received in Christ.

O le Efeso 4 o lo'o fa'atonu ai le ekalesia e uiga i le olaga fou. A'o le'i o'o i le fa'amagaloga, na fa'atonu e Paulo le ave'esea o le ita ma le upu leaga. Ua fa'avae e lenei fuaiupu le fa'amagalo o le tasi i le isi i le fa'amagaloga ua maua e ē fa'atuatua i a Keriso.

Practical Application / Fa'aoga i le Olaga

Forgiving does not mean calling a wrong good. Today, think of the person you find hardest to forgive, then pray for wisdom and kindness while remembering the forgiveness received in Christ.

E lē fa'apea le fa'amagaloga o le ta'u o le mea sese e lelei. I lenei aso, mafaufau i le tagata e faigatā ona e fa'amagalo, ona tatalo lea mo le poto ma le agalelei a'o e manatua le fa'amagaloga ua maua i a Keriso.
