Scripture: So watch yourselves. “If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them. Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them.” The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” Application: As much as all of us want to say it, forgiveness is not an easy or natural thing for humans, particularly genuine forgiveness toward a "repeat offender." Jesus' disciples knew this. That's why they, and we, need to pray that the Holy Spirit will increase our capacity to forgive. Increase our faith. Prayer: Father, far too many times, we are short-tempered, impatient, and hard-hearted beings. We want to forgive others. We want You to build our capacity to forgive. Amen. Comments are closed.
