The Dropped Stitch
The Dropped Stitch
Forgiveness is like the dropped stitch. If it's not fixed immediately, the hole of bitterness gets bigger and bigger. Jesus said people would suffer as He suffered for His name. Although Rivka teaches others, we see that she also struggles with sin. No one is perfect. Everyone needs Jesus. Responding to others as Paul teaches in the New Testiment to respond is a choice. Only in relying on the Spirit can that choice be made. And the choice has to be made despite how others are responding. The other person involved might not apologize. And they may never actually accept your apology. But their reaction shouldn't affect our ability to forgive and ask for forgiveness.

分享Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which is the bond of perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, for to this you were called as members of one body. And be thankful.

阅读全文...Bless those who persecute you. Bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but associate with the lowly. Do not be conceited. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Carefully consider what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible on your part, live at peace with everyone. Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.”
