Bear with one another and forgive

[shortlady]

BEAR WITH ONE ANOTHER AND FORGIVE ONE ANOTHER,
IF ANYONE HAS A COMPLAINT AGAINST ANOTHER; EVEN AS CHRIST FORGAVE YOU, SO YOU
ALSO MUST DO.
( COLOSSIANS 3:13 *NKJV )


Now I know that forgiving another is hard for us
to do at times, but when we remember how very much
God has forgiven us; it becomes much less difficult to
do. After all just thinking about God's tremendous Love
and Forgiveness can help us to forgive and love each
other.

So as God's Children we should: NOT RETURN EVIL
FOR EVIL OR REVILING FOR REVILING, BUT ON THE
CONTRARY BLESSING, KNOWING THAT YOU WERE
CALLED TO THIS, THAT YOU MAY INHERIT A
BLESSING. ( 1 PETER 3:9 )

Therefore, LET ALL BITTERNESS, WRATH, ANGER,
CLAMOR, AND EVIL SPEAKING BE PUT AWAY FROM
YOU, WITH ALL MALICE. AND BE KIND TO ONE
ANOTHER, TENDERHEARTED, FORGIVING ONE
ANOTHER, EVEN AS GOD IN CHRIST FORGAVE YOU.
( EPHESIANS 4:31-32 )

So forgive those who offend you, and do
not try to get even: FOR WE KNOW HIM WHO SAID,
'VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,' SAYS THE
LORD. AND AGAIN, 'THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS
PEOPLE. ( HEBREWS 10:30 )

Wishing you a beautiful day on God's green Earth,
and may: THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
BE WITH YOU ALL. AMEN. ( REVELATION 22:21 )

In HIS Love & Service,
Pastor Allen

Thank you shortlady,

people say it's hard to forgive... but it is much much harder to not frogive.

We only cease from the fullness of His joy when we carry any unforgiveness in out hearts and minds. This leaves us empty of so much ... we become powerless and the Lord tells us that He won't listen to our requests if we argue and don't forgive... so yes, we will find the road of unforgiveness much harder that the blessing of forgiving, which frees out hearts and minds to love with a pure heart, as we are commanded to do...

when we love with His joy, we are free of the burdens that would otherwise bind us and hold us and make us bitter....

Let us forgive one another and rejoice!

Unforgiveness is hard on us and for us. To be unforgiving means we have to carry the weight of such heavy hearts toward another... that is hard to live with!

Bless you ....><>
