My sister and I occasionally fought over some small thing. Afterwards we would often not speak a word to each other until I couldn\u2019t stand it anymore and apologized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But this time I didn\u2019t want to apologize because she had called me as a stupid \u201cmoon cow\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Being 4 years younger, I didn\u2019t even know what these words meant. But I thought that they were extremely bad, really mean! No, I never wanted to forgive her ever again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A little while later, my friend told me of a conversation that Jesus had had with Peter who had asked him, \u201cLord, how often do I have to forgive my brother when he sins against me? Seven times?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suddenly I knew exactly what I had to do. Do you also know? You can read the story for yourself in Matthew 18:21-35.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the cross, Jesus forgave you for all of your sins. Why shouldn\u2019t you forgive your sister or wife, your brother or husband, or your fellow man?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
