Forgiving a Friend
"If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him."Luke 17:3
Reflection
Friendship without forgiveness does not last, because everyone messes up. Talking it out and forgiving is what makes a friendship survive years.
Prayer
Father, help me forgive my friends. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- Why does friendship need forgiveness?
- How do we talk things out?
- Is there a friend you need to forgive?
5-minute activity
Practice making up: role-play two friends who argued and then talk it out with "I felt…" and "I'm sorry." Switch roles. Read Luke 17:3-4.
