Last week I was reading my friend Ryan Whitley’s blog as he was discussing forgiveness. The Friday submission was Mandisa from American Idol talking about forgiving Simon for what he said behind her back regarding her weight. Watch this closely at the 4:45 mark… you will be blessed. Afterward, I have a few comments…
What have people said about you to others that was true and hurt you? What have people said about you to others that wasn’t true and it hurt you? What pain do you have that was inflicted upon you by your parents… siblings… friends… enemies… and/or strangers?
More importantly… what is the Christian’s response? “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32).
