Day 17 - November 16 - Luke 17

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=luke%2017&version=31

In Luke 17:3-4, it says:
So watch yourselves. "If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, 'I repent,' forgive him."

Should we always forgive others, even if they repeat their sin over and over again? Explain.

In Luke 17:7-10
"Suppose one of you had a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Would he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, 'Come along now and sit down to eat'? Would he not rather say, 'Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink'? Would he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do? So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.' "

When you serve God, do you do so looking for a reward? Is it difficult to serve God just for the joy of serving? Explain.
