Ephesians 4:32 And be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you.
Even though we rejoice and thank God that our sins are forgiven, knowing that we would be lost forever without that forgiveness, we still struggle to forgive and to have compassion toward others.
When we read a verse like this we agree, and our hearts are filled with a warmth towards others. Not so when someone cuts us off in traffic, or cheats us in some transaction, or belittles us with an insult, or disappoints us.
It is strange the difficulty we have with kindness, compassion, and forgiveness to those who are closest to us, our parents, our spouse, our children, our brothers and sisters, and our in-laws.
Whenever we are angry with others, let us remember, that is the time for kindness, compassion,and forgiveness. From the cross Jesus said, "Father,
forgive them." Lets do the same!!!
Heavenly Father, how many times I rejoice in Your compassion and forgiveness of my sin. Help me to forgive those who sin against me, and
enable me to forgive even as You have forgiven me.
