God has a loving concern for all people, whether it is the sinner on the street or the self-righteous church member. He wants both to experience His forgiveness and love.
All of us are familiar with people who are angry and bitter because of past offenses. Their relationships with others are in shambles because they refuse to forgive. Although many do not realize it, forgiving others is a beautiful gift you give yourself.
Have you been wronged by your friends or enemies? Are you miserable because of the wrongs that have not been made right? How much has God forgiven you?
Following Jesus is the responsibility and honor of every Christian. It means thinking His thoughts, loving what He loves, hating what He hates, and making His goals and desires our own. There is no greater honor or joy on earth.
Bitterness not only ruins relationships with others; our own lives can self-destruct through unresolved bitterness in our own hearts. God has answers for bitterness—answers that restore both your heart and your love for others to His beauty.
You have been hurt, offended, mistreated, victimized, abused, wounded, WRONGED--perhaps even intentionally. What will you do with the painful scar? MUST you forgive the offender? What would Jesus do in your case?
This is the story of one Salvadoran woman's search for truth. The answers she found went counter to her upbringing, but in the end, she found peace. Her life glows with inner light and joy that comes only from God.
