"Be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another as God has forgiven you in Christ."
Ephesians 4:32
We might not have the ability to just will ourselves to stop sinning, but we do have the Holy Spirit within us directing us and teaching us in the way to go.
The love of God is more than what we can comprehend. In His great and wondrous love, He reached down, overthrew the power of Satan, and save a people for Himself. Why should we be kind to one another, tenderhearted, and forgiving to one another? The answer: "Even as God in Christ forgave you."
Can we be kind to one another? Can we forgive one another?
Today, O Lord, please help all who are struggling to forgive.
