Hello friends,
As many of you have
probably noticed, my first few posts had more of a serious tone to them. Life
should be taken seriously, but we also need to lighten up and take others into
consideration. Today I will start out with a verse. Ephesians 4:32 says “Be
kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ
forgave you.” We must take in regard how important this passage is. Most of us
don’t understand how crucial it is that we do these things. It’s not like just
anyone said this, God did. When God speaks, WE NEED TO LISTEN!!! God is very
compassionate, and he forgave us for our sins before we even commit them.
One thing that I have been working on for the past few years is forgiveness. Forgiveness is so important. The Bible states that we need to be more like God, and patience and forgiveness are two of his greatest attributes. People do us wrong very frequently, but this life is too short to hold a grudge. But, we should never forget what someone does though, because the minute that we do, is the moment that we fall prey to it again. Forgive, but don’t forget. I have recently had some bad experiences with multiple people, and I’ll be the first to admit that it is hard to let it go, but we just can’t afford to hold grudges. We must instead move on and grow from it.
As we grow in Christ, we should naturally have a greater desire to help others, and to help lead them to the grace of God. That is why when you see someone struggling with something whether it be physical, emotional, or even spiritual, we should jump at the opportunity of helping them. I have met a lot of Christians who are very self-centered, and never want to help anyone else. But just like with everyone else, we should try to help them, and most importantly, we need to pray for them. I pray that we can all be more giving and patient with one another.
