The Habit Of Forgiving Trespasses. Part [6] 05/27/2022 (Evening thought)

Luke 17: 3 Take heed to yourselves: If your brother trespasses against you, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.

There are several prominent celebrities who suffer from the problem of kleptomania, and even though they are filthy rich, some have been caught stealing petty items as low as seven dollars in value, and, as a result of repeat offences, some of them have been banned from Walmart.

It may be that they are struggling with depression, or some other mental illness which they might be trying to overcome, but whatsoever might be the problem, the habit of forgiving trespasses will give them the benefit of the doubt, even as they might ask for pardon on numerous occasions.  

Some persons do fall on numerous occasions on the issue of sexual cravings, and even though they may be genuinely trying to kick the habit, yet for some reason they do stumble over and over again. Mary Magdalene, out of whom Jesus had cast out seven demons had this problem, as did some of the other righteous in days of yore.

Luke 17:4 And if he trespasses against you seven times in one day, and seven times in one day turns again to you, saying, I repent; you shall forgive him.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
