Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. (NIV)

Forgiveness



Ephesians 4:32



Be kind and loving to each other, and forgive each other just as God forgave you in Christ.

Jesus wants us to flow with the kindness that he gave to us. He loved us while we were still sinners, and we should show others that same compassion. Someone might have hurt you, but forgiveness is a choice. And once you make that choice, you will be happy and so will the other person.



If you don't forgive, you will be holding that grudge, and you won't be happy. The other person won't be happy either. And God won't be happy. He can't forgive you if you can't forgive others.
When you make the decision to forgive you're being a shining example of how Jesus can forgive sinners. If us humans can forgive, then Jesus can forgive us a million times more. Jesus will forgive us any time we ask him as long as we mean it. So can you. If someone in your life just can't stop screwing up, but really does want to change, it's your job to forgive.



And when you finally do, you'll both be joyful and can love each other, and have that abounding in your heart rather than hurt and anger.



So if there is someone in your life that you need to forgive, do it today, and you will all be happy, and you'll be an example to others of what Jesus does for all of us.
