I walked on, or rather strutted. My slate had been wiped and blow dried clean. My chin was making contact with a higher level of the atmosphere. Really! It felt good to be me. And then we met.
“I didn’t deserve to be treated that way,” I thought to myself. And then I heard a request for forgiveness slip past those lips. But how could I be treated that way! My rage consumed me. Words, sights, all blurring; I could only see what I wanted to. I turned my face away in loathing. And then I heard…

"The king summoned the man and said, 'You evil servant! I forgave your entire debt when you begged me for mercy. Shouldn't you be compelled to be merciful to your fellow servant who asked for mercy?'
The king was furious and put the screws to the man until he paid back his entire debt.
And that's exactly what my Father in heaven is going to do to each one of you who doesn't forgive unconditionally anyone who asks for mercy." Matthew 18:32 – 35 (The Message)
