A BELOVED Romans 9:23-26 Devotional:- I will call them my people, which were not my possible, and her beloved, which was not beloved” (V. 25) KJV      A part from the biblical use of the word beloved, which allows us to use it among believers, do you know that the greatest title any man or woman can earn in life is to be called beloved? This is someone you can probably refer to as your spouse. Your mother or your father cannot earn such a title. None of your sisters or brothers can fit in. None of your friends can as well fit in. This level of title is reserved for someone you are to him or her special. Someone you give unreserved love to. This is someone who has become very important and a treasure to you. As for this level of relationship, you are ready to invest anything. It is referred to as an intimate relationship.

FORGIVE AND FORGET

FORGIVE AND FORGET

Matthew 6:7-15
Devotional:- "But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses". (V. 15)

    In relationship, a major experience you cannot but do without is offending each other. It is just of human to offend others. We offend each other because of our differences and different view of live. We offend each other because of our weaknesses and our inability to accommodate others.

The word of God teaches us to forgive each other, without that God will not also forgive us. Though, we easily claim that we have forgiven people, but we really don't easily forget. When we struggle to remove our heart from an offense, we have not really overcome it and we can not claim to have forgiven. The memory of the offense can still hurt us.

So, to be able to forgive and forget, you must know that it is a sign of weakness on your side that issues get too hard on you. So, take care of yourself, you also need to know that we view things from different angles and each one try to approve his or her own view, yet, that is not always true. So, mature people consider the view of others. In any way, when we are offended, let's talk about it and apologize to each other. Where that is not possible, let us try to pray for our offender and over time, we will forgive and forget.

PRAYER: Lord, give me grace to forgive and forget.

“There is always a lesson to learn in people offending us”
