You have only two options.    

11 Sep You have only two options.    

The Bible says, ‘Then Peter came 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 … “up to seventy times seven”’ Seventy times seven equals 490 times.

🎯And it’s your ‘brother’, someone you have to live or work with, whom you’re called to forgive. In essence, Jesus was saying, ‘Forgive, and keep on forgiving if you want to have a relationship with this person.’

🎯Let’s face it, we all make mistakes because we’re flawed in different ways. Perfection only exists in God. s in a relationship.

🎯While it’s perfectly normal to feel anger, and a natural human reaction to feel mistreated, there is a big difference between healthy anger and the corrosive emotion of bitterness.

🎯Bitterness is relational cancer. As American author, Maya Angelou said, ‘Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. It doesn’t do anything to the object of its displeasure.’ In this case, the ‘host’ is your relationship, and forgiveness is the medication and the cure.

🎯Jesus said, ‘And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.’

🎯Offering the degree of forgiveness you wish to receive ensures that your relationship stays healthy and free from the disease of bitterness.
