Mountains and Molehills
It’s often a challenge when someone sins against us. We naturally want to talk about the person to invoke sympathy for ourselves. Yet love covers the sin. It overlooks it. It shows grace and mercy, and it does so in the light of Calvary’s cross.
If God’s love can overlook our mountain of sin, we can overlook the molehill of someone else’s sin. Such godliness guards our hearts against gossip, and against the subtlety of bitterness.
Soul Search: What reoccurring memories do I have that evoke negative thoughts toward somebody?
Father, may I never lose sight of what I have been forgiven in Christ. Amen.
