Be
Kind To Each Other,
Tenderhearted,
Forgiving One Another,
Just
As God Through Christ Has Forgiven You.
Scripture
Ephesians
4
32 Instead,
be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as
God through Christ has forgiven you.
Observation
Kathy
and I have been married now going on 50 years. You would think
wouldn't you that we would have things figured out by now where we
didn't hurt each others feelings … but nope … I still seem to
figure out ways to hurt the one that I love the most.
Don't
act surprised … if you were honest you would tell me that you do
the same thing.
You
and I are both sinners. Sinners are selfish. Therein lies our
problem.
And
because we are all sinners we are constantly in need of either
forgiving someone else or asking someone to forgive us.
Are
you holding a grudge? Are you refusing to forgive someone?
How
stupid is that … let's put Ephesians 4:32 into practice and enjoy
life!
Application
I
will try to forgive quickly and apologize quickly.
How
about you? Is there someone you are refusing to forgive?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I know that I am a sinner. I know that I am selfish. Help me
to put the needs of others above my own. Help me to ask for
forgiveness when I mess up, when I selfishly demand my own way. Help
me to be kind
to others, tenderhearted, forgiving others, just as You through
Christ have forgiven me.
