Oh my...what a concept. Forgiveness! Ugh...the number one tool to keep Christians at war with each other. The enemy is good, but God is greater.
The enemy tells us that it is our right to get revenge.
God says He will handle it.
The enemy tells us that we should make them suffer for what they have done.
God says to turn the other cheek.
The enemy tells us that we have a right to hold their wrong-doings against them.
God says forgive and forget.
What a God we serve! He gives grace when we refuse. He shows mercy when we hold onto harsh emotion. He extends love when we harbor anger. Aren't you so glad that we are called to be like Him...instead of each other? Wow...what a world of difference a bit of perspective makes huh?
