📖 Verse of the Day:
"Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, 'Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?' Jesus answered, 'I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.'" — Matthew 18:21–22 (NIV) 🔁🕊️
🌟 Forgiveness Isn’t a Number — It’s a Lifestyle 🌟
Forgiving once is hard enough. But Jesus calls us to live with open hands and open hearts, continually releasing offense and bitterness.
🧼 Forgiveness isn’t excusing what happened — it’s choosing freedom over resentment. Every time you forgive, you break a chain and open space for healing and grace.
💡 Lewis B. Smedes said, “To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.” 🔓 Don’t carry the weight another day. Let it go.
📝 Who do you need to forgive — again? Write their name down. Pray over it. Release them and yourself in Christ. 💬

Jesus, You’ve forgiven me over and over — help me do the same. Heal my heart, soften my spirit, and teach me to let go of pain. I choose forgiveness today. In Your name, Amen. 🔁🕊️
💬 Forgiveness doesn’t excuse the wrong — it releases the weight. Walk in freedom. 💛🕊️
