Forgive and Forget

I think as brothers and sisters in Christ, we need to forgive each other of wrong-doings and then seriously forget about it. Don't hold grudges against each other. God calls us to love one another. If we screw up and hurt each other, we need to forgive each other as a result of love.

It saddens me to see my brothers and sisters in Christ hate each other. 1 John 3:10 states "This is how we know the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God's child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother or sister." Now I am by no means perfect, I do have people in my life that I don't like that much, but I know that I have to love them.

First thing to do is pray for that person, than confess it to that person--tell them that you have a "hard heart" against them, and explain why. You will be so blessed when you obey what God calls us to do--confess our sins to each other. That conversation can end really good, or it could end really bad, but you have to be prepared for both outcomes. If the person that you are confessing to knows Jesus, they should definitely honor you for talking to them.

Pray. LOVE. Be Real.
