Does your actions truly show a gracious way of putting up with others faults? Howbeit there may be a cause of complaint: are you willing to forgive others for their shortcomings? Are you receptive of apologies, yet hold a grudge anyway? Although many seem immune from these disorders, we are all actually affected by various relationships that require carrying a load of emotions that can only be sincerely dealt with by the love in action by the work of the Holy Spirit upon us. This is only possible by having faith in God rather than our own efforts and following Jesus in example to the authority of His Word (that promotes the right growth leading to maturity), rather than the curse of a withered life stunted in loss of a fruitful life that should be fed by constant trust and reliance upon prayer. We must ask God for the strength to remove all doubt, for we must seek Him in His justice. He knows all of every one’s life and profession of convictions held! Our acceptance of those in encouragement with a purpose of fellowship should not involve quarreling over opinions. In fact, a true separation from what is evil should involve a severance from worldly views that are opposed to the love of Christ Jesus in His salvation plan. By the will of the Father in His authority over the Son, there is even a better nourishment than any food or earthly sacrifice offered; for, the Atoning blood of Jesus Christ has made amends for every unhealthy diet that sin held captive and freed lives to par- take of a living bread that sustains the body to the saving of the soul. The reproach that Jesus bore on our behalf is clear to God’s passion in a pure love of His people that we should take seriously, and that with understand- ing His holy requirements in order that we may build up others with no thought to ourselves. In the lovingkindness extended to us through what Jesus gave, we must continually extend to others the same, and that of forgiving others the way we are supposed to that we may also be forgiven! Be blessed tremendously through what gave me in, “Forgive And Be Forgiven!” LaNora G. Means
