Be
humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s fault because of your
love. (Ephesians 4:2 TLB)
We
need to make changes—God-inspired Changes, when necessary. Change is part of
the growth process. The truth is the way to make positive and effective changes
in your life as a Christian is through the agency of God’s Word and by the
power of the Holy Spirit.
At
the beginning of this month, we started a study of the book of Ephesians
chapters 4 and 5 and one of the instructions we received from the scripture
portion above is that we should
make allowances for each other’s fault because of our love.
Like
God, we ought to learn to look
at people beyond their actions. It doesn’t mean a denial of their
wrongs, but you see them the
way God sees them, and
love them irrespective of their shortcomings. When you live your Life
this way, you become gracious and merciful towards other. Learn to cover others with your
umbrella of love. No
matter how nasty they may get towards you, your love should always rise above
it, for you’re like your heavenly Father; you’ve discovered that people are
greater than their actions. Don’t react or respond to people based on their
actions.
As
a child of God, you should act like your heavenly Father, who never recalls offenses. If you want to keep experiencing increased glory in your life, then
learn to always make allowances for others. Let this become a part of your
character; let your attitude and thoughts constantly change for the better.
If you’ll do this, you’ll keep experiencing more grace and increased glory in
your life. Finally, ensure that you attend the November Global Communion
Service this Sunday as the Spirit of God launches us into yet another level in
his plans for us in this year of the Word. Praise the lord!
