I was thinking today of relationships I have had and still have of people that has shown me much grace in dealing with me. I have sinned against many people in my life through my words and actions and still have received grace from these folks to forgive me and love me regardless of my immaturity. I think of all the regrets in this area that I have had in the past of not having a forgiving heart toward others and even viewing them a certain way and not allowing them to change. I would hate for others to put me in a box and keep me there even though I continue to mature and become more like Christ. Lord Jesus - thank YOU that YOU don't do that to me. I want to Learn from YOUR example to have a heart that does not hold onto offenses done against me.
Let's all live without regrets and if you are holding onto stuff that should have been forgiven long ago - seek those folks out that you have had these attitudes toward and seek their forgiveness. Unity in the Body of Christ is paramount to our Christian life.
1 Peter 4:8 Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.
