Forgive, if you want to be forgiven
We have two sets of norms—one for ourselves and one for others. The saints know our weaknesses. They have their own way of explaining and putting us on the right path. Christ through one of his parables tries to mend us. He says:
A certain king decided to take account of his servants. When he had begun to reckon, he found that one of his servants owed him ten thousand talents. But the servant was unable to pay. As a rule, the Lord could confiscate his everything, including his wife and children and send him to Jail.
The servant, therefore, fell down before the Lord and worshipped him saying Lord, have patience with me and I will pay thee all. The Lord was moved with compassion and became lenient and forgave him the debt.
But the same servant went out and found that one of his fellow servants owed him one hundred pence. He at once laid hand on him and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. And his fellow servant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying Have patience with me and I will pay thee all. But he would not but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
When his fellow servants saw what was done, they were very sorry and came and told it to their Lord all that was done.
The Lord called him and said, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt because thou pleaded me. Should not thou also have had compassion towards your fellow servant even as I had pity on thee. The Lord was wroth with him and delivered him to the tormentors till he should pay all that was due unto him.
So likewise our heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not all the trespasses of your brother. (Matt 18:23-35)
