FORGIVENESS!!

"..how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him?..until seventy times seven". Matthew 18:21-22. My friend, Everything we think about forgiveness is measured with our measuring rod and logic. God may be shaking His head and saying "your thoughts are so little and look at me and get the BIG PICTURE my boy. Here is how you and I measure forgiveness: 1) We think who? Who should I forgive? He or she did this and I don't know if I can forgive him or her. Are they worthy of my forgiveness? 2) We think how much? We measure things on our list, right? We say, "I can forgive that- NO PROBLEM- to some selective one and I could NEVER forgive that" to him or her. 3) We think how often? "Fool me once, shame on you- fool me twice, shame on me: NOBODY'S going to do that to me again! Nada, Zippo. As I was meditating this portion this morning, God really convicted me. "If I ever really brought my sin before the Lord, He would turn His back- I just have to carry this one myself because He's just not merciful enough to forgive me: What would I do? He has totally forgiven my sins when I accepted Him as my Lord and savior. My slate is clean. He threw ALL my sins down at the deepest part of the ocean never to be remembered and put a sign "NO MORE FISHING". BRO: God is challenging us "LET'S COMPARE" our way to His ways. Can we?? Thank you Jesus!!
