This is a pretty good one from a couple days ago:
Psalm 30:8 Remove from me falsehood and lies; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for me.
When we forgive, we acknowledge the truth of the offense, then choose to wipe the slate clean and move on. We seek neither poverty nor riches in the continuing relationship-- we don't look for the person to victimize us again, or expect them to be a perfect friend from then on. As God gives to us each day the things that are needful and most appropriate for us, the goal in our friendships is to be what is needful for the other person in kindness and love, maintaining a selfless bond.
