God says be kind, compassionate and forgiving!

 Ephesians 4:32

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

The bible is many things, one of them is an instruction book. God tells us instructions through the bible, this verse as well. We are told to be kind and compassionate to one another, to forgive just as Christ has forgiven us. It is easy to be angry and hold grudges about something that was done to you that you didn't like and decide to not forgive. But when you are reminded that Christ forgave you and so you should forgive others, you let go immediately. It is by the painful death of Christ that we have earned God's forgiveness, we didn't deserve it, but He loved us that much to do it. Hence, no matter how bad or big the offense is, God says forgive. This also allows you to be free from unforgiveness which can be heavy on its own. They also say, not forgiving a person, is like drinking a poison and expecting the other person to die. You, forgiving, is for your own good as well.

I wish everyone can heed the call from what God is saying, that we need to be kind and compassionate to one another. The world has turned out to be filled with angry and bitter people, who care only for themselves; kindness doesn't feature anymore (obviously noting that there are a few that are an exception). So, let us be the examples of Christ and show kindness and compassion, God will do the rest in speaking to the hearts of those who are mean, to follow as well. It starts with you, as an ambassador of Christ!
