Forgive Quickly

By Kay Heitsch

Forgiveness is not something we do for other people. It's something we do for ourselves to move on. ~ How Often Should I Forgive Quotes ~

When we forgive quickly, we keep the toxins like bitterness, anger, etc., out of our life. Resentment and anger hold us back from the life Jesus died to give us. Forgiving quickly keeps the toxins from getting embedded inside us that steal our joy.

Our Bible verses say, Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven times?" Jesus answered, "I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times! Matthew 18:21&22

Seventy times seven is a figure of speech. It means as often as is needed! How many times has God forgiven us? We must forgive ourselves and others as often as necessary for our well-being.

Forgiveness is not something we do for other people. It's something we do for ourselves to move on.
