Words & hearts should be handled with care,
for words when spoken & hearts when broken are the hardest ones to repair.

Forgiving one another… as God… has forgiven you. (Ephesians 4:32)

Imagine living in a society where adulterers wear a scarlet letter and thieves wear a ball and chain.

Imagine being identified only by your past. "They probably deserved it," you say.

Really?

Jesus said if you look at a member of the opposite sex with lust, you've committed adultery in your heart (Matthew 5:28). Ouch!

Then He went on to say that the standard of judgment you impose on others, is the standard by which you'll be judged (Matthew 7:1-2).

 

Can you live with that?

Now, God's not soft on sin. "The Lord disciplines those He loves" (Hebrews 12:6).

But His love won't let you go. "Nothing can separate us from the love of God" (Romans 8:38-39).

We're not too familiar with scarlet letters or balls and chains, but we are with computers. And when someone hurts or upsets us, God says, "Forgive, and hit the delete button!"

Otherwise you'll be corrupted with a virus that controls the way you think, act and talk. Worst of all, it'll keep you chained to the memories.

"But forgiving is hard," you say. Sure; that's why Jesus said, "Pray for those who mistreat you" (Matthew 5:44). Forgiving someone begins with praying for them.

"But I need to try and understand why they did it."

Smart people do stupid things.

Good people do bad things.

And misguided people don't know what they're doing.

That's why Jesus prayed, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34).

You may understand someday, or you may never understand.

Either way, for your own sake forgive, hit the delete button and move on!

BLESSED BE THE ONE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD
