Matthew 18:21-22

21
Then Peter came up and said to him, "Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?" 22Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.

Teach me to live your love, oh God, to love because You first loved me, when I was so unlovely. Teach me to love and forgive those who hurt me. Lord, teach me to carry a measurement not to the world, but instead, the yardstick of Your grace. Your grace is sufficient for me, and You are made perfect in my weakness.
