She asks tough questions and then offers possible solutions, drawing a portrait of a truly forgiving person.\u003cbr\u003e One of Jesus most mind-boggling declarations is that we who hope to follow him must first be willing to forgive the people who have hurt us. Not only does this injunction show up at the heart of the prayer he offers to his disciples ( Give us this day our daily bread ) but he restates it as a requirement for salvation: If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions. (Mt. 6:11-15)\u003cbr\u003e He also tells us that if we wish to live in relationship with God, we must first seek forgiveness from those we ve hurt: Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there recall that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there at the altar, go first and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift. (Mt. 5:23-24). Our damaged relationships with other people, especially when we are responsible for that damage, have a direct effect on our friendship with God. \"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaula Huston\u003c\/b\u003e's books include \u003ci\u003eThe Holy Way: Practices for a Simple Life, By Way of Grace: Moving from Faithfulness to Holiness, Forgiveness: Following Jesus Into Radical Loving, Simplifying the Soul: Lenten Practices to Renew Your Spirit, A Season of Mystery: Ten Spiritual Practices for Embracing a Happier Second Half of Life\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eOne Ordinary Sunday: A Meditation on the Mystery of the Mass.\u003c\/i\u003e She is also the author of two novels, \u003ci\u003eDaughters of Song\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eA Land Without Sin\u003c\/i\u003e.
