I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!

Keep forgiving
Peter asked how often he should forgive his brother. Till seven times? He probably thought that was already generous.
Jesus answers with a number you aren't meant to calculate. The point is precisely that you stop counting. Forgiveness isn't a voucher that runs out. It is an attitude that stays.
Question for today
Am I keeping track somewhere of how often someone has wronged me?
Prayer
Lord, I like to count. Including what others do to me. Teach me to stop counting, and to forgive as you forgive. Amen.
