Seventy Times Seven.

For the things that were said, for the things that were done, forgive.
God was laying that on my heart.
But Lord, you know the hurt -
Forgive.
But Lord, it's not fair -
Forgive.
But Lord, I didn't -
Forgive.

How many times do I have to forgive, God. It feels like I'm always forgiving. Why should I? Why bother? How many times should I forgive?

Just as I forgave you of your sins, so you should forgive others of theirs.
Seventy times seven.

Keep forgiving them. Always forgive. Don't hold the ugliness, the pain, the grudge in your heart.

Seventy times seven.
So sweet, so humbling.
