Bear!

Colossians 3: 13
13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Late yesterday afternoon, I received a phone call from a distraught lady.
Her Dad and Step Mom both perished in an early morning house fire just that day.

The most painful part of the experience, was that there were unresolved issues between her, and her Dad.
Now those issues can never be resolved.

Do you have a grievance against someone your holding onto this morning?
Are you too prideful to make the first move?

Are you willing to step into eternity, without getting things right?
That may say more about you, than it says about the other person.

So if God gives Grace to the humble, how much Grace are you receiving from God today?
Pride actually goes before destruction. (Proverbs 16: 18)

There’s an old hymn of the faith, and the words of one stanza go…”oh what peace we often forfeit, oh what needless pain we bare…”
Are you carrying any needless pain this morning?

Be the better person, and get it right today.

Honor God today, by letting go of those things that hinder you…and the other person…
