Thoughts for the Day

Sometimes forgiving a large offense seems easier than being gracious about those little day-to-day annoyances. Almost everyone has habits or mannerisms that others might find irritating. And let's face it-that includes us!

If we aren't willing to make allowances for other people's faults, we will greatly limit our ability to develop meaningful relationships-relationships that God could use to help fulfill his plan for our church or ministry.

Consider This . . .

Do you sometimes focus on people's faults, rather than their needs? Their weaknesses rather than their strengths? Do you allow those negative focuses to block your ability to love and encourage? To work together toward a common goal?

God calls us to walk in forgiveness, to make allowance for each other's faults. He forgave us-how can we do less? He is so gracious toward us in our day-to-day walk-how can we refuse this same graciousness toward our brothers and sisters in Christ?
