The OneSample

Have you ever hurt someone’s feelings, and they responded with forgiveness? It probably brought more relief than you were expecting because you may have expected them to get angry with you. Forgiveness eases tension and can lead to peace, which is exactly what this verse invites you to do. Has someone hurt your feelings recently? Do not seek revenge or harm this person. Do not hurt their feelings in return, even if they don’t seem apologetic. God invites us to forgive our enemies because God knows unforgiveness is a prison for you more than the other person. 

Use this opportunity to put this verse into practice today and ask God for strength if you need it!
