Jesus challenges us to forgive over and over, "seventy times seven" (Mt 18: 22). Is this possible? Doesn't our patience run out? Aren't we tempted to think that this endless forgiveness might simply be "enabling" and not really helpful? Yet, when we put ourselves into the shoes of the one asking for forgiveness, how many times do we find ourselves seeking forgiveness for the same things" We are banking on God's everlasting forgiveness, and even take it for granted. If he so forgives us, should we not then do so for others? Lord, give me a patient, forgiving heart that measures not the number of times I forgive someone else. Thank you for your patient and consistent forgiveness of my faults and sins.
