Forgive One Another

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. — Colossians 3:15 

This is a tough command.

I don't always want to put up with everyone.

Some people just seem unlovable.

But then I realize that God puts up with me.

And I'm often not very lovable.

And God sent His only Son to die for me, before I'd ever turned toward Him.

God went ahead and forgave me before I even asked.

Knowing that, I realize that through God's love, I can show love to others.

And even forgive those who've wronged me.

After all, God paid a much. higher sacrifice for me.

Thank you, Lord!
