How many times must you forgive someone who keeps hurting you? In today’s Battle Drill Daily Devotional, we tackle one of Jesus’s most challenging teachings from Matthew 18:21-22: “Seventy times seven.”When Peter asked Jesus about forgiving seven times, he thought he was being generous. But Jesus’s answer - unlimited forgiveness - challenges everything we feel about repeated betrayal and hurt.📖 SCRIPTURE FOCUS: Matthew 18:21-22 - “How often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?” Jesus replied, “Seventy times seven!”⚡ IN THIS DEVOTIONAL:- Why Peter’s question reveals our own struggle with forgiveness- What “seventy times seven” really means (it’s not about maths)- The parable Jesus told about the unmerciful servant- How to stop keeping score of others’ failures- Why unlimited forgiveness is actually possible- One practical action step for repeated hurt today💡 KEY TAKEAWAYS:When someone keeps hurting you, everything in us screams “enough is enough!” But Jesus commands unlimited forgiveness - not because they deserve it, but because God has forgiven us an unpayable debt. This short sermon will give you biblical wisdom and practical guidance for letting go of the scorecard.🙏 WHO THIS IS FOR:Whether you’re a Christian struggling with someone who repeatedly lets you down, seeking daily Bible encouragement, or a curious seeker wondering if forgiveness has limits, this devotional message is for you. The Salvation Army’s Battle Drill Daily Devotional brings gospel truth with practical life application.✝️ IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION:Forgiveness doesn’t mean staying in abusive situations or removing consequences. It means releasing resentment and refusing to keep score. This teaching is about freedom from bitterness, not enabling harm.🔥 THE UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH:None of us deserve God’s forgiveness either. If God stopped forgiving you after the seventh time, where would you be? This perspective shifts everything about how we forgive others.👉 YOUR ACTION STEP TODAY:Think of someone who’s hurt you repeatedly. Write their name down, then write across it: “Forgiven - again.” Stop counting. Stop keeping score. Choose freedom.✝️ ABOUT BATTLE DRILL DAILY DEVOTIONAL:Short, powerful Christian devotionals for busy people seeking daily encouragement, biblical wisdom, and practical faith application.
