this is about forgiveness - a merciful gift from God.
If your brother comes back to you seven times a day and says, 'I am sorry', you must forgive him.
Jesus said to his disciples, 'Obstacles are sure to come, but alas for the one who provides them! It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a milestone put round his neck than that he should lead astray a single one of these little ones. Watch yourselves!
'If your brother does something wrong, reprove him and, if he is sorry, forgive him. And if he wrongs you seven times a day and seven times comes back to you and says, "I am sorry," you must forgive him.'
The apostles said to the Lord, 'Increase our faith.' The Lord replied, 'Were your faith the size of a mustard seed you could say to this mulberry tree, "Be uprooted and planted in the sea," and it would obey you.'
to attain inner peace, the best way is to forgive. let go of the hurt and misery.
why keep harping on it? move on and try to make urself happy.
everything happens for a reason.
that's when good and effective communication plays a vital role.
dont ever expect to read each others' minds and nvr expect the other party to know wad ure thinking and feeling if u fail to communicate that across. bcos tt is the root of the problem. expectations and bad communication. the 2 big evils.
it takes alot to apologise. to admit a mistake.
it also takes alot to forgive and let it go.
but isnt that wad love is all about?
it takes 2 hands to clap in this situation, 1 is willing to say sorry. therefore, the other shud be willing to accept it graciously.
if God can be merciful towards us, why cant we be merciful towards the pple ard us?
so lets take a big leap of faith and embrace God's mercy and love.
Forgive someone today!
