🍞 Forgiving beside Matthew 18:21
When forgiving is loud, Matthew 18:21 is a sentence you can borrow. “Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?”” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.

Parent tip
If the feeling is bigger than a verse, stay in the room. Matthew 18:21 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
