Ephesians 4:32
“Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”
Being kind comes very easy when we are doing so through the strength of the Lord. As one body the outside world will not come to our rescue, we ourselves have to stand our ground and fight for one another. The love of God should overwhelm us enough that we are able to love without reason, do good without condition, give for the sake of giving, and show mercy without thought. Be forgiving as your Father is forgiving unto you.
Forgiveness comes easy when you realize that the act of forgiving is for our own wellbeing and not necessarily for the other person. When you learn to forgive you choose to live a freed life. A life filled with joy, peace, laughter, calmness, and sanity. Learn to love, to be kind, to be tenderhearted, and forgiving. Learn to live like Christ and ask for the grace it takes to be His representation on this earth.
