A Daily Devotion for Thursday, October 7

Matthew 18: 21-22

Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?”

Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.”

I really don’t have any excuse to hold a grudge. (The parable of the unmerciful servant follows the passage above.) God has covered me in grace by forgiving my sins. Certainly I still owe Him my repentance but I must be forgiving of others. I owe this to God, as well. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. Luke 12:48b

Father God, your Word lights my path. I can never say thank you in words which convey what is in my heart. I am glad you know my heart. I am yours, Amen
