Perception
forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Boy this is a hard verse.
You think you know people
you have known them maybe a long time
your whole life
maybe a few years
months
They suddenly are mean
say mean things, show no compassion
Sometimes they just outright throw something at you from left lane!
Your like WOOO where did that come from !!!
It happens
to all of us at one time or another.
Unkind people
No compassion
Rudeness
Non forgiveness
We are to forgive and love like Christ did us.
hard
What we want to do is yell
scream
shout
make them feel as bad as we do!!
(maybe monkey slap them! LOL)
That's what we want!
But that will get us no where.
See, its about
Perception
Defined: The way you think about or understand someone or something.
So, if we choose to yell at this person
their perception isn't the same as ours (If it was, you wouldn't be disagreeing in the first place)
This is how fights start.
the sad part, most of the time, you don't even know how or when the whole thing started.
What made the relationship this way?
Why is this person rude? Showing no compassion to my cause?
How did I get to feel this way about this person?
Maybe you felt this way all along
Maybe it is a new feeling
no matter, how did it ever get this way! ??
Hard
Makes me wonder how Christ felt when his friends
the very ones who hung out with him
His Disciples
left him at the cross
The only one who showed up and stuck it out was John
The rest were no where to be found.
They were scared.....understandably
People were rude to Christ
Spit on him
called him names
called him a liar
they questioned who he was
Can you imagine!!!
You are THE CHRIST and people are spitting on you
calling you names, stoning you
wanting you dead
on a cross.
Yet
He forgave
He has compassion on those who spit on Him
hated Him, stoned Him, and Hung Him on a Cross to die
He FORGAVE
hard
yet, we are to do the same
