Get over it

 

“Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.” – Ephesians 4: 2

THERE is great beauty in forgiveness, the essence of God’s word. The phrase “bearing with one another in love” invokes feelings of unselfish patience, of calm, graciousness, and care when things are getting on your nerves. At the heart of Christ’s teachings, and His relationships with us, is the humility of making allowances for our own many faults and mistakes. We, in turn, cannot carry on harboring grudges and irritations with others if we are to put up with them “in love”. In less romantic terms, get over it and get on with it. We all have our faults, but God forgives us in love and wants us to spread the beauty of His compassion and forgiveness, in order to grow as true followers of Christ.
