We just finished up our series on forgiveness. It has been an awesome two weeks at CityPoint Church. Here are a couple of key points to remember this week:
1. Forgive, even if the offender does not ask to be forgiven. Quit waiting around for the person who hurt you to come to you and tell you exactly what you think you need to hear in order to forgive them. There is a chance they will never be a big enough person to ask you for your forgiveness.
2. Treat those who injured or offended you with kindness, not harboring any grudge or speaking of that individual in a condemning way. (This Is A Tough One)
Romans 2:4 (NLT)
Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Cant’ you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?
I love this verse because at its core it says; “If you are willing to treat your offender with kindness, you could actually be pointing them toward God. Kindness goes a long way.
3. If the opportunity presents itself, do something good for the person who hurt or offended you.
There ya go! A couple of great things to keep in mind for the week!
