"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)
It can sometimes be easy to be critical of others. Maybe they don't think or work like we prefer. Maybe they approach things with different views. Others may even make mistakes! In all of our dealings with other people, we need to remember the example of Jesus Christ.
When we are facing a situation where someone has frustrated or hurt us, we need to bear with that person and forgive. None of us are perfect, so there are times when we can each benefit from someone bearing with us or with us bearing with someone. In the midst of living with others, we also need to remember to forgive. Jesus set the example by forgiving everyone. We should follow His example and try to live life bearing with and forgiving the imperfections in ourselves and others!
Bear with others and follow Jesus' example of forgiveness!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for forgiving me. Help me to bear with others when they frustrate or hurt me. Help me to forgive others as You have forgiven me through the sacrifice of Jesus. In His name I pray, amen.
