Interesting that in the amplified translation it says… forgive and let go
I think the letting go is perhaps even harder and more important that the forgiveness.
“Then Peter came to Him and asked, “Lord, how many times will my brother sin against me and I forgive him and let it go? Up to seven times?””
Matthew 18:21 AMP

By the way, Jesus’s answer was 70 times 7, in other words, forgive all the time.
For sure these days there is a lot of uncertainty, apprehension and even fear. If there is ever a time when we need support, help, encouragement and strength, this is it. This verse really came alive to me the other day while I was reading my morning devotions. I hope it encourages you.
So, I’ve had a bit of a revelation about the truth just recently. Not sure why it took so long but here it is, from my perspective/experience anyway.
I imagine you’ve heard the saying “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” which is John 8:32. I’ve always thought of this as just knowing the truth about something that it will help you or “set you free” regarding what you know or understand as “the truth” .
31So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples. 32Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
Just recently I’ve coupled this with John 14:6 where Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. “
So, the truth is more that just a concept or an idea but a person, Jesus. Jesus says he is “the truth“, so by knowing Jesus, by continuing in His word (the bible) He will set you free!
Mind blown!
Something I came across a while ago, which now has a home on my desk to remind me how to do it.
If you don’t face the feeling they hold you prisoner.
At a Covide-19 test site. 2 hrs and 22 minutes so far.
Rejoice because of the Lord, even in the midst of the storm. It does not mean that we do not care about our problems, instead, we are strengthened to face them so that God can open the ways and lift us up.
Psalm 37:4-5

Just one of those real life days. I seem I have a cold which started with the sore throat and then moved on to the runny nose phase. Couple that with an emotional God encounter during devotions and you get a big pile of Kleenex .
