I Strongly want to Encourage you to Love others from a genuine spirit, in spite of what they said, did, or caused. It will truly exemplify your level of maturity in Christ, and allow you to live above the influence of human emotions.
I want you to understand that this act does not mean you cannot voice how you feel regarding any grievances in a constructive way, for our Lord and Savior has done so on many occasions, yet he did not allow others to taint, derail, shame, or discredit his calling or his conduct. It will not absolve them from any wrong doing, but it is GOD that decides a just outcome for all who are involved. He alone knows their trouble, their sorrow, and their pain that is ever-present. If you are wise you will see it too, and pray for their deliverance from such things. It is best to Count it all joy that you have come to know Jesus in this way, and show mercy as he has shown you.
Friends,
If you are going through hardships, and you are withdrawn, you have no joy, and your primary focus is me, myself, and I, you have lost your Faith in your sea of trouble. You have drifted from your first Love, and forsaken his greatest commandment, and perhaps your mounting trouble is due to your own selfishness, and disregard for others. Therefore, I cannot stress the importance of having Love overflowing in your very being.-Mark 12 29-31
Seek the LORD, because it is never to late too allow Jesus to come in and make the crooked roads straight, and the rough ways smooth in your life. It is never to late to apologize to those you have hurt or offended by your conduct. It is never to late for LOVE. John 3:16-17
Luke 6 Msg Bible
27-30 “To you who are ready for the truth, I say this: Love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer for that person. If someone slaps you in the face, stand there and take it. If someone grabs your shirt, giftwrap your best coat and make a present of it. If someone takes unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life. No more tit-for-tat stuff. Live generously.
