70*7

When you are upset, you say a lot of things that you probably don't mean and when the phase is over, you want to be forgiven, you pray that the person you said those words to let's them go.

Personally, it pains me when someone doesn't let go of whatever it is that is hurting them that another human (especially me) caused. Even if the person doesn't ask for forgiveness, letting it go frees your mind.

Ephesians 4:32 NIV

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Now if I ask for forgiveness more than 7 times, do I still deserve your forgiveness?

Matthew 18:21 KJV

Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

Matthew 18:22 KJV

Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Seventy times 7 is 490. Now if someone "sins" against you 490 times, then that must be the person's sole purpose in life ..lol. And for you to keep so many scores, you're jobless and don't know what to do with your life 😒 (lol)

Let's forgive one another, let's love another so we can proudly say the Lord's prayer.

Matthew 6:12 NIV

And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

P.S. - I know forgiving could be hard, that's why we ourselves should try not to piss people off. Don't talk when you're angry and treat everyone like you would like to be treated. God bless 😘
