So the decisive question is this: what right do I the forgiven have to refuse to forgive? To forgive is to release everything they’ve put in my trash basket to God; to choose to treat them not as they treated me but as Jesus treated me. Yeah, that’s the prayer, “Forgive us our trash baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our basket.” There’s plenty of junk e-mail–spam, they call it. But sometimes you get a gem in some of the creative stuff that friends forward to you. I got a child’s version of the Lord’s Prayer that both amused and even enlightened me; especially when this little boy got to the part where many Christians pray, “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” Except this boy heard it this way: “Forgive us our trash baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets.”
