February 22: Numbers 12-14; Psalm 44; Luke 2

Moses reminds God of God's very character--to be forgiving.  Yet forgiveness does not wipe away all the consequences of what we have done.  Forgiveness is about repairing and rebuilding relationships.  Reparation and penitence is another matter and we should expect the need to redress our wrongs by making things right.  Our choices always have consequences.
