Forgiveness Now

"Then Peter came to Him and said, "Lord, how many times could my brother sin against me and I forgive him?  As many as seven times?"  "I tell you, not as many as seven," Jesus said to him, "but 70 times seven"---Matthew 18:21-22

"It has been said that life is an exercise in forgiveness.  And if should be added that forgiveness is also an exercise in character building.  Christ understood the importance when He commanded, "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you"  But sometimes, forgiveness is difficult indeed.

DO you invest more time than you should reliving the past?  Are you troubled by feelings of anger, bitterness, envy, or regret?  Do you harbor ill will against someone whom you simply can't seem to forgive?  If s, it's time to finally get serious about forgiveness.  Learning how to forgive and forget is one of the secrets of a happy Christian life"
