The truth about forgiving always repeated offenses goes against our nature. Just look at Jesus' parable of unmerciful servant. He had just been forgiven a debt he could never repay, and even in the afterglow of such generosity. he couldn't find it in himself to forgive a fellow servant a mere pittance.
The truth is, mercy doesnt come naturally us, we have to work at it. Just as a small child has to be encouraged over and over again to turn off the light when he leaves a room, we have to keep trying again and again untuk forgiveness becomes a habit. We know Jesus has given us this commandment and we even know why we should do it. But that doesnt make it any easier. All we can do is practice. But here's the good news: practicing mercy will break us- in a good way!
Voila, keep mercy for all, the benefit will come to us
