Go!

Matthew 18:15
If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.

What of Today’s Verse

The right thing is so hard to do sometimes. It is so much easier to gossip, to mention another’s wrong against us in a prayer with others, to pass around innuendo. But only one thing is the right thing to do! Go to the person who has wronged you and try to keep the damage contained to just the two of you.
 
Let us Pray:

Lord God Almighty, forgive my foolish and selfish ways. Through your Spirit, help me to be as forgiving as you are. Give me courage to lovingly confront those who have sinned against me, but if I cannot bring reconciliation, help me to forgive as you have forgiven me. Through Jesus, the atoning sacrifice for sin I pray. Amen.

Words of Wisdom

Begin with you…
 
People respond to positive treatment in a positive way and they respond to negative treatment negatively. So how are people responding to you?

Those whom you treat with respect will naturally come to respect you. Those you treat with scorn and disdain will probably not be very cooperative. If you wish to be understood, then sincerely seek to understand. If you wish to be loved by others, then give your love to them.

If you don’t like what you see in the mirror, it is not the mirror that must be changed. It is you. In very much the same way, the world you experience on the outside is a reflection of who you are on the inside. If that world is ever to move forward, it must begin with you.
