ALWAYS FORGIVE OTHERS!
Colossians 3:13b – Devotional
Colossians 3:13b
“Forbear one another, and forgive one another, if anyone has a quarrel against another: even as Christ forgave you, so you do also.”
When we think of having an attitude of forgiveness, sadly it is most often when we feel that the other person deserves to be forgiven. In reality we receive a blessing or are about to receive one and therefore we give thanks. It is for what makes us feel justified and satisfied.
In today’s scripture, Paul rejoices in the report he has received about what God is doing for the Colossians. His rejoicing comes when he receives reports of how God’s people are freely radiating a forgiving spirit for all.
It causes me to stop and consider what my spiritual life lacks. Am I consistently thanking the Lord for the way other believers are growing in the Lord and the work they are doing for Him? I think I need to refocus my prayers to always thank God.
I want to take this opportunity to thank my many faithful readers around the world who have supported this ministry with your prayers and gifts. God has opened doors to reach thousands that need to be encouraged. I covet your continued prayer support and messages of encouragement.
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
