“Forgive one another…Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” Colossians 3:13
We do not let go easily, yet the apostle Paul said in Colossians 3, “Bear with one another…” and sometimes that’s just what we have to do. We have to “bear through” the situations or attitudes or hurts that others cause us or put us in. We have a unique ability to hurt others, and an even more unique ability to hold on to that hurt. The words “I forgive you” do not easily cross our lips, at least not with out a fight. Elton John captured the sentiment so well when he sang,
“Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word.”
Christ forgave us as he hung on a cross, saying, “Father forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Pay it forward today. Let go of your hurt and forgive someone.
