Forgive. Forgive. Forgive!

As Christians, we are called to forgive one another. The simple answer: because Christ forgave us first.

When a neighbor harasses you, forgive her.
When a parent neglects you, forgive him.
When a spouse irritates you, forgive him.
When a friend forgets you, forgive her.
When a teacher insults you, forgive her.
When a child disrespects you, forgive him.
When a boss refuses to reward you, forgive him.
When an acquaintance wrongly accuses you, forgive her.

When Jesus was humiliated, he loved them.
When Jesus was mocked, he loved them.
When Jesus was forgotten, he loved them.
When Jesus was spit on, he loved them.
When Jesus was denied, he loved them.
When Jesus was rejected, he loved them.
When Jesus was beaten, he loved them.
When Jesus was crucified, he loved them.
