“Peter approached Jesus and asked him, \u201cLord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?\u201d Jesus answered, \u201cI say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times. That is why the Kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who decided to settle accounts with his servants. When he began the accounting, a debtor was brought before him who owed him a huge amount. Since he had no way of paying it back, his master ordered him to be sold, along with his wife, his children, and all his property, in payment of the debt. At that, the servant fell down, did him homage, and said, \u2018Be patient with me, and I will pay you back in full.\u2019 Moved with compassion the master of that servant let him go and forgave him the loan. When that servant had left, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a much smaller amount. He seized him and started to choke him, demanding, \u2018Pay back what you owe.\u2019 Falling to his knees, his fellow servant begged him, \u2018Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.\u2019 But he refused. Instead, he had the fellow servant put in prison until he paid back the debt. Now when his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were deeply disturbed, and went to their master and reported the whole affair. His master summoned him and said to him, \u2018You wicked servant! I forgave you your entire debt because you begged me to. Should you not have had pity on your fellow servant, as I had pity on you?\u2019 Then in anger his master handed him over to the torturers until he should pay back the whole debt. So will my heavenly Father do to you, unless each of you forgives his brother from his heart.\u201d When Jesus finished these words, he left Galilee and went to the district of Judea across the Jordan.”<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Matthew 18:21\u201319:1<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n “Let your countenance shine upon your servant and teach me your statutes.”<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Psalm 119:135<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The Humble Servants are set up as a genuine act of kindness with one sole purpose which is to kindly spread an ounce of light to others in our daily walk of life!
