Colossians
3:13
bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving
each other; as the Lord has forgiven you,
so
you also must forgive.
Ephesians
1:7-8
In him we have redemption through his blood,
the
forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which
he lavished upon us,
in
all wisdom and insight
Do not expect to be treated fairly in this
life. People will say and do hurtful things to you, things that you don't
deserve. When someone mistreats you, try to view it as an opportunity to grow
in grace. See how quickly you can forgive the one who has wounded you. Don't be
concerned about setting the record straight. Instead of obsessing about other
people's opinions of you, keep your focus on Me. Ultimately, it is My view
of you that counts.
As you concentrate on relating to Me, remember that I
have clothed you in My righteousness and holiness. I see you attired in these
radiant garments, which I brought for you with My blood. This also is not fair;
it is pure gift. When others treat you unfairly, remember that My ways with you
are much better than fair. My ways are Peace and Love, which I have poured
out into your heart by My Spirit.
Isaiah
61:10
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord;
my soul shall exult in my God,
for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation;
he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself like a priest with a beautiful headdress, and
as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Romans 5:5
and hope does not put us to shame,
because
God's love has been poured into our hearts
through
the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
