Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times. (Mt 18:22)
We are always asked to forgive and forget but truly how easy it it? In the Gospel Jesus told us to forgive seventy seven times. Is that really that easy to do in order to forgive and forget!
The next time you hear the phrase think of it, ponder on the words.
If someone hurts you how easy do you forget? You may say I forgive you but honestly when something reminds you about the situation you get that angry feeling again and the hurts and emotions consume you once more. True right? Yes trust me I know. That is where Jesus wise words comes into play. He wants that every time we feel the pain or reminded about the situation to look within our hearts and forgive again and again and again even if it take seventy seven times.
So let's try that the next time we forgive or remember something that hurt us to ask God for the grace to forgive and to forget.
Love and blessing
