Let all men know and perceive and recognize your unselfishness (your considerateness,your forbearing spirits.)  The Lord is near [He is coming soon].

PHILIPPIANS S 4:5

 

Love is a generous, selfless act.  A selfish person expects everyone to be just the way he is and to like whatever he likes, but love respects the differences in other people.

Respecting individual rights is very important.  If God had wanted us to all be alike, He would not have given each of us a different set of fingerprints.  That one fact alone proves that we are created equal, but different.  We all have fingerprints, but they are all different.

We all have different abilities, different likes and dislikes, different goals in life, different motivations, and the list goes on and on.  We look different, we come in all sizes and shapes, and each of us is unique.

Love respectfully frees others to be who they were created to be.  Freedom is one of the greatest gifts we can give.  It was what Jesus came to give us, and it is what love allows us to give to others.

God’s love for us is unconditional, and we should learn to love others the same way.  Be generous with mercy and always believe the best.

Unconditional love unselfishly loves selfish people, generously gives to stingy people and continually blesses unappreciative people.

We will miss you Bruce….

“For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.” – Matthew 6:14

Have you ever noticed the presence of that little two-letter word in the Lord’s prayer? It says “And forgive us of our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.” Did you catch that? The word “as” implies that we cannot be forgiven until we offer that same forgiveness to others. In case we miss the “as,” Jesus makes it very clear in the next verse: “But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” (Matthew 6:15)

Forgiving someone who has treated you poorly, said evil things about you, even broken up your family, is a very difficult thing to do. It takes Godly intervention to truly offer forgiveness to people who have deeply wounded you. But God commands us to do so, and God would never command us to do anything that He wouldn’t provide the ability to do.

Right now, pray for God to give you the strength to forgive those who have hurt you. Not only will God give you the power to do so, but He will also empower you supernaturally to love them, even though you hate what they did. Remember, bitterness is the poison we swallow, hoping the other person dies. Enjoy the release of this terrible burden by experiencing the cleansing power of forgiveness.
