Daily Reading

Matthew 18

Daily Verse

Then Peter came to Jesus and asked,

"Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother

when he sins against me? Up to seven times?"

Matthew 18:21

Daily Thought

One person will not do me wrong 490 times.

The person will do me wrong once, and I will replay it in my head 490 times.

Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy times seven."
~Matthew 18:22

Daily Prayer

Father in Heaven, forgive me my sins as I forgive others theirs. That is a dangerous thing to pray, because I am not very good at forgiving. But You are teaching me. I know I have sinned against You. A lot. You not only have forgiven me, You paid the penalty for my sins. The more I understand Your love, Your grace, Your mercy, the better I share it with others.

Thank You God. You have freed me, not only from my own sins, but from the ugliness of bitterness against the sins of others.

Amen.
