Too many times I’ve seen families ripped apart because of some petty argument. One person gets all up in a tizzy and the next thing you know various people aren’t talking to each other. When we suggest that they reconcile and forgive each other, they each expect the other to do it first.
It’s exhausting.
According to Colossians we are supposed to cut each other some slack. And forgiveness should come pretty freely because Jesus forgave us first.
Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
Colossians 3:13 NIV
As we seek to let our light shine before men, having a good attitude and working well with each other might make some people stand up and take notice.
Lord, before we could come to you to ask for forgiveness, you extended it to us. May we be quick to do the same to those who have wronged us. May we glorify you in our approach toward one another. Amen.
