You live in a day when people are so busy with their own lives that they forget to be considerate of others. Paul wrote, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another as I have forgiven you." This can only happen when you have a heart that is rid of all bitterness and self-seeking.
When you have a bitter heart, bitter things will come out of your mouth and you will wound others with your words. When you have a selfish heart, you will always put yourself first. Esteeming others higher than yourself will not be your pattern of relating to others.
I forgave you when I died to take away your sins. When you allow My forgiveness to flow through you, you will see others as I see them. When your perception of even those who come against you agrees with My perception of them, you will be able to be considerate and kind to them. When you consider the fact that I shed My blood to save those in your life who have wounded you, you will have a tenderheart that has been transformed by My love.
EPHESIANS 4:30-32
