Ephesians 4:31 - 32
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
It is very difficult to be kind to those who you are bitter with or have anger towards. Perhaps this is why we are instructed first to put bitterness, wrath, anger, clamour and evil speaking away. In my own words, I would say to let it go. Don't harbor these negative emotions in your heart. They will stop you from moving forward in areas of your life and they keep you bound. Lose yourself today by choosing to forgive. Forgiveness is a choice NOT a feeling.
Once you make up your mind to forgive, then you must move on to being kind and tenderhearted. Remember, you to needed forgiveness. So as Christ hath forgiven you show gratitude by extending forgiveness to others. In the Book of Matthew we read that if we don't forgive others their trespasses Christ won't forgive us of ours. (Matthew 6:15)
Free yourself today. Make a choice to forgive, let go of the negative and choose to show God's love and kindness to someone.
