Day 21 (2/26/08)
Seven Times Seventy
Matt chapter18,verses 21~35
How often should I forgive ,seven times?
Think abouy this
Jesus often talked about forgiveness. In todays gospel Peter asks him how often he should forgive, maybe seven times? But Jesus said he should forgive seven times seventy times. You do the math .That s a lot of forgiving. Forgiveness then is one of the most important spiritual exercises we can do (and one of the hardest!) Real forgiveness is just that REAL. It comes from the heart-seven times seventy times.
Think about this message today.Can you follow Jesus this way?
EXERCISE
touch your toes seven times( or seventy times if you,re up to it),and say as you do: "I will try to forgive others."
PRAYER
After the exercise, say this prayer:
FORGIVENESS is hard, Jesus , but I want to try to gorgive anyone who has hurt me. Teach me how.
Now spend two minutes (more if you can) talking to God in your own words.
