Forgiveness
"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity."Colossians 3:12-14
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this writing, Paul offers us a strategy to allow us to live for God day after day. We are to imitate Christs compassionate and forgiving attitude. We are to have love guide our daily lives. Allow the peace of God be the number one ruler of your own heart. Forever and always be thankful. Keep the work of God in you at all times. Live as though you a representative of Christ in your daily walk.
