These two simple words are so difficult
for some people to say. For some it’s a pride issue, and for others they would
have to say it constantly to the ones they continue to offend.
“Make a clean break with all cutting,
backbiting, profane talk. Be gentle with one another, sensitive. Forgive one
another as quickly and thoroughly as God in Christ forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:31-32,
The Message)
Has someone really hurt you bad?
Chances are you are the only one that is still holding the anger. The offender
was over it a long time ago. Holding onto the annoyance is not good for your
health. Give it up no matter exasperating the offense was.
As difficult as it may be, this sounds
like a much better way for one to run their life. Believe me; it’s not always
easy to close your mouth when you are dying to give your angry “two cents
worth” of advice. Think about what you communicate. Edit it. Once words fly out
of your mouth or out of your fingers onto some social media website, their
effect cannot be taken away. As tiring as it seems, choose to be the bigger
person.
