Isn’t THAT the truth! It takes much more moxy to stick it out with others and choose to love them”in spite of” situations than to walk away. Now THAT takes God in our lives…and THAT is love. Good stuff! 😀
Indeed. We tend to look to what offenses have been done or said against us but seem less likely to take a step back to check our own offenses… More than likely we are every bit as guilty.
There’s the rub. Yes. We are much more gracious with ourselves than with others. That’s what makes the command to live your neighbors as yourself so challenging.
Amen to that!
