God does not ask anything of us which He has not already given each of us perfectly.
Already, He has endured our offenses and forgiven us countless times; He asks us to do the same for our neighbor.
Already, He has loved us even to His cruel death and beyond; He asks us to do the same.
Already, the God of gods and Lord of lords has put us, His lowly creatures who deserve nothing, before Himself and does all to save us from ourselves; He asks us to do the same.
Remember the story of the debtor who was forgiven much, but refused to forgive the little he was owed by another. Just was his punishment, although perhaps it was in the name of justice that he mercilessly sought after the man who owed him.
Our Lord has gone before us in everything; let us look to Him to help us mend our ways and become perfect, as our Father is!
