Thought For Today

As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven. Matthew 18:21, 22

Lord are we reading right –‘seven times seventy?’ I’m sure Peter felt he was going the extra mile when he said seven times. Now Lord You are asking him to go seventy times seven. Lord You do understand that this is a brother that had sinned against him….and You are still asking him to forgive seventy time seven. Who could do that apart from Your love flowing through them. Our own human nature would cry within us to lash out at them.

Thank You Lord for giving us the power to forgive.

Thank You for showing us the beam in our own eye rather than the speck in our brothers eye.

Oh how grateful we are Lord for Your help.

Thank You. Thank You Lord.
