Glory to God in the highest, and on
earth peace, good will toward men
--Luke 2:14 (KJV)
Indeed, we all make many mistakes. For
if we could control our tongues,
we would be perfect and could also control ourselves in every other way.
--James 3:2 (NLT)

--James 3:2 (NLT)
If something has been said or done to
offend you, it is good to know that you can call upon the Lord
through prayer. He is faithful to answer. He is faithful to come to
your rescue. Holding onto offense has the potential to create
bitterness in your mind, soul and spirit. It is easy to yield to
anger, rage, seek revenge or bear grudges. But it is sin to repay
evil for evil or hold malicious intentions in your heart.
When you accepted the forgiveness of
sin, iniquities and transgressions through the sacrificial blood of
Jesus Christ, then be determined to yield to the Holy Spirit. He is
the precious, infallible gift you received when you said yes to
becoming a son or daughter of the Kingdom of God. The Holy Spirit
strengthens and enables us to forgive others. He gives us the grace
and patience to deal with difficult people. Abiding in the love of
God is your source of love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness,
goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance.
