Who are we that we think we have some right to be mad? WE DON'T! We get upset, angry, sinfully mad, becuase someone said something we took offense to, but we do not have the right. The only One that has this right forgives in an instant, and He (Jesus) went through much more than we will ever experience. Despite what mankind did to Him, He loves us so much that even today when we persecute Him with our sins He is still waiting to accept us back into the Holy family. He died for us, but most of us have lived most of our lives with our backs turned to Him. Yet, He embraces us when we are broken, and finally want to be on His side. Jesus endured more hardship in a few days than we will endure in a lifetime, but we hold grudges with oneanother. Who are we that we think we can be mad at another brother or sister when Jesus isn't mad for what we've done to Him? We need to let go of pride, envy, jealousy, strife, etc and move on! When we are sitting around mad refusing to praise God, fellowship, attend services, and so on we are not hurting anyone but ourselves. We need to develop a true UNCONDITIONAL love for oneanother. To me this means even when you know this person does not love you back you still love them anyway. It takes much less energy to love than it does to have contempt for oneanother. Let's love!
Love you all!
