Through God’s grace

Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. (Colossians 3:13 NIV)

 What is true love if not to forgive the one who you feel has done you great harm? What is a true manifestation of the Lord’s Spirit if not to love your enemies, to do good to them that do you harm, to turn the other cheek? This is love.
 This is mercy. This is humility. This is Jesus. Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for another —even your brother or sister who has harmed you.
By reaching up for the grace to forgive him or her, you’re reaching up to the Lord, and He’ll make you a better person because of it.
 It is a great thing when you, through God’s grace, become a person who has forgiven another, who has passed over that hump and stumbling block, and whose heart has been enlarged to take being wronged and yet to forgive. —M. Fontaine [1]

 You never so touch the ocean of God’s love as when you forgive and love your enemies. —Corrie ten Boom
