Be ready for anything. Get offended at nothing. Love everyone. Forgive everything, and God can use you anywhere.
Vince Baker
How does forgiveness prepare us to serve others?
Paul tells believers to put away bitterness and forgive because God has forgiven them in Christ. Colossians puts that instruction alongside patience, kindness, and love. Those habits make it possible to serve people whose mistakes or differences might otherwise keep us at a distance.
Read the Bible (KJV) · Ephesians 4:31-32 · Colossians 3:12-14
Put it into practice · Name a grievance you keep replaying. Pray for the person and choose a kind action you can take while keeping any boundaries the situation requires.
