Peter went to Jesus and said, "Lord, how often must I forgive my brother if he wrongs me? ………" Jesus answered, Not seven times but seventy times seven."
Matthew 18:22

Have I not said so many times and in so many different ways how important it is to have your mind and heart constantly tuned to Our Presence, the Father's loving, ongoing purpose and My Indwelling with the light and fire of Our Holy Spirit? When you are thus attuned you are less likely to find yourself in situations where you bring about your brother's failures. It is not infrequently the one who feels himself wronged who ignites the fire of trouble. But when the hurt is given, the whole offending situation must be offered to your Heavenly Father with your brother in love and intercession. Do not isolate person and circumstance. And ask forgiveness for your part, even if that part is solely your failure to attune yourself to Our Presence in you and Our loving purpose for you and for those around you.

Have patience with yourself. Seek the loving disposition which it is Our will and good purpose to bestow on you if you are faithful in love. See, in the light of Our Holy Spirit, what your contribution should be to the spoilt relationship, and ask for the grace and opportunity to offer it. Never act without prayer, that the rift may be healed and the occasion be made an opportunity for good.
