Matthew 18:21-19:2
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?”
22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times. [Seven times seventy]
22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times. [Seven times seventy]
23 “Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants. 24 When he began to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.[a monetary unit worth 20 years' salary] 25 And since he could not pay, his master ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26 So the servant fell on his knees, imploring him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.’
27 And out of pity for him, the master of that servant released him and forgave him the debt.
27 And out of pity for him, the master of that servant released him and forgave him the debt.
28 But when that same servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii,[a day wage] and seizing him, he began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay what you owe.’ 29 So his fellow servant fell down and pleaded with him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you.’ 30 He refused and went and put him in prison until he should pay the debt.
31 When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their master all that had taken place. 32 Then his master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. 33 And should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?’ 34 And in anger his master delivered him to the jailers,[torturers] until he should pay all his debt.
35 So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.”
Jesus tempered His forgiveness of sins. 1 Corinthians 7 tells us about peace. This is the passage abused people leave marriages. Jesus forgave all in His Salvation and Mercy. And returned to the 500 to have relationship. And with His Disciples.
John Mark went on to be forgiven and became Mark of the Gospels of Mark. Barnabas made sure John Mark, his known to his heart, family was forgiven. We go forth in the forgiveness of God and giving that forgiveness.

And in the balance scale, my grandmother prayed for her son all her life. He was not always very pleasant. Unpleasant mostly. And in his 70th year of life, he heard Joel Olsteen giving free copies of Rick Warren's 'Purpose Driven Life'. And my uncle experienced the Love and Joy of Jesus Christ.
Prayer has no cost - and many benefits.
Good Health.
Deuteronomy 5:32
So you shall observe to do just as the LORD your God has commanded you; you shall not turn aside to the right or to the left.
Joshua 23:6
Be very firm, then, to keep and do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, so that you may not turn aside from it to the right hand or to the left,
Matthew 9
9 Jesus stepped into a boat, crossed over and came to his own town. 2 Some men brought to him a paralyzed man, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.”
The true feeling of forgiveness is exactly the same as the one we all experienced as a child, when we would swim underwater and come up gasping for air.
The good thing about prayer, this keeps hearts flexible and the soul open to Father God. Leaving the soul a welcome place for Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the internal life in us going to eternity pretty pleased, pleasant and hopeful.
Father God,
2 Corinthians 13
Your Love encourages, sustains, endures, renews, rejoices - the authority the Lord gives is for building up, not for tearing down.
Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Name and Power of Jesus Christ!
Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace.
Because we have seen Father God when we read the Gospels of Jesus Christ and His Willingness. The God of Love and peace will be with us.
God's people pray together.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
We always lift up the ones we love and see each day what God is doing. Psalm 91:3 says God delivers us from snares. He works all things for good and find what Good Purpose to work towards. Look for His signs and solutions. Help bring Heaven to Earth. For the Lord God is MIGHTY. And if this is the circumstance, look for the indwelling of His Holy Spirit.
Father God, we will move within Your plans with gratitude. Rejoicing in Your Grace.
We pray Father God to remove flooding from our southern states. We are grateful for the rain and respite from the heat. Jesus Mercy. Amen.
♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
