Luke 7: 48
Then Jesus said to her “Your sins are forgiven”

Why do you think it is so hard to say sorry? It can be really hard to say sorry for lots of reasons but we don’t need to be afraid to be honest with God because He already knows what is on our hearts.

2 Corinthians 4:7
“But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all surpassing power is from God and not from us.”

God loves it when we offer things to others. What might you be able to offer to at home today? Why not have a go at making some cakes to give to someone! You could even make a card to go with them. Don’t forget to ask a grown up to help you out in the kitchen.

Luke 18:1-14

The Parable about the Judge and the Widow

18 Jesus^[a] told his disciples^[b] a parable about their need to pray all the time and never give up. ² He said, “In a city there was a judge who didn’t fear God or respect people. ³ In that city there was also a widow who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’ ⁴ For a while the judge^[c] refused. But later, he told himself, ‘I don’t fear God or respect people, ⁵ yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will grant her justice. Otherwise, she will keep coming and wear me out.’”

⁶ Then the Lord added, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says. ⁷ Won’t God grant his chosen people justice when they cry out to him day and night? Is he slow to help them? ⁸ I tell you, he will give them justice quickly. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

The Parable about the Pharisee and the Tax Collector

⁹ Jesus^[d] also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves, thinking they were righteous, but who looked down on everyone else: ¹⁰ “Two men went up to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector. ¹¹ The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘O God, I thank you that I’m not like other people—thieves, dishonest people, adulterers, or even this tax collector. ¹² I fast twice a week, and I give a tenth of my entire income.’

¹³ “But the tax collector stood at a distance and would not even look up to heaven. Instead, he continued to beat his chest and said, ‘O God, be merciful to me, the sinner that I am!’^[e] 14 I tell you, this man, rather than the other one, went down to his home justified, because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the person who humbles himself will be exalted.”
