Forgive anyone who offends you
Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.
Colossians 3:13 (New Living Translation)
Everyone has faults. There isn’t a perfect human on the earth. There will be times people WILL offend you, and when that happens, we need to forgive them. Because God has forgiven us. Even though we don’t deserve it, He sent His son to die for us so that He could take the blame for our sins and we could be forgiven. Don’t take that for granted. And out of thanks for that, the least we can do is forgive other people when they offend us.
