A new way of looking at others

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: A new way of looking at others

Forgiveness is a new way of looking at others. It’s a radical and counter-cultural perspective on life. If you believe in forgiveness—that God forgives, even though He is not obligated to, and that we’ll have the best kind of life if we hold other people in our lives with a loose grip—then here’s how you’ll view other people.

You will see people for what they can be and what they were intended to be, rather than simply as they are.
You’ll learn to not focus on people who simply irritate you. You can focus on them, of course, if you choose to, and keep yourself in a continual state of irritation; and you end up irritating the living daylights out of other people around you. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Forgiveness means looking at people who really have wronged you and deciding that you’d like to set things right—but in the end, you’re not going to play God's role in judging them.

Example
forgiveness means that you view the deranged people who shoot up school rooms and then turn the guns on themselves as people who are going to be standing before the judgment seat of God. They will answer to God and not you, so view them that way and forgive.

Now how do you see that person that offended you? Do you feel like killing them? Hitting them? Discipline them? Or forgive them? Please look at them today in a new way that is friendly.

LET US PRAY
DEAR LORD JESUS, HELP US TO WHOLEHEARTEDLY LOVE CARE AND TREAT OTHERS YOUR WAY. IN JESUS NAME
