A Convicting Look in the Mirror

Therefore, as the elect of God, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, long suffering,; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against one another; even as Christ forgave you, so you MUST do. But above all these, PUT ON LOVE . . . . (Colossians 3:12-14)
What a challenge we as believers face these days! Everyone criticizing everyone. Everyone jumping on one bandwagon on another and choosing sides. Well, as a CHRIST follower, we have only one side . . .one choice; The side of the God of the Bible! We MUST be forgiving, patient, kind, loving, humble, meek. We CANNOT be critical and condemning. We MUST grant forgiveness and second chances as God does for each of His children. As I take a look in the mirror, I am convinced that with all the grace God has afforded me, I need to stop getting caught up in the back and forth of life and simply be more like Jesus!
