"Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times but, Until seventy times seven." Matthew 18:21-22
Ouch ... that means 490 times ... yet I am sure it means even more than that. Not an easy task - I think especially hard within our own families ... a father-in-law that speaks ill against you, the never can please mother-in-law, the take-you-for-granted sister or a sibling that always picks a fight ... you get the picture. Forgiveness is HARD but oh so necessary for spiritual growth.
"Love your enemies, bless those that curse you ..." stay tuned next weekend ... another hard one!
