How often are we to forgive? 70 x 7? Christ did not
mean for us to count our forgiveness and then give up. What He reminds us of is
that our hurtful memories will keep surfacing even when we have forgiven. Then,
we get to forgive again. And again. Until that past no longer has a hold on us
and is replaced with mercy. Dr. Jantz states it this way, “You will have to
make a daily decision to dismiss the hurtful memories of the past and
concentrate on the positive things of today, until the past no longer controls
you.” Think about the good things of the present, and let God’s grace fill you
with gratitude for the life you live and the blessings of His abundant love.
We know that in all things God works for the good of
those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. – Romans
8:28
