Dear Friends, Matthew 18:21-22 KJV Then came Peter to Him, and said, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?" Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven." As hard as it is, we are called to forgive. Sometimes we're not quite ready to forgive someone who's wronged us. We want some time to stew on it, thinking of w3ays we can take revenge, or even hope something bad happens to them. It takes a lot of time and effort to not forgive. Unforgiveness can consume our time and thoughts causing bitterness, anger and rage. Then before we know it, we begin to suck others into it with slander and gossip. Eph 4:31-32 tells us to "get rid of all these feelings, be kind, compassionate and forgive each other just as God in Christ forgave you." When we put things into perspective, God loves the other person you need to forgive just as much as He loves you. That
