“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:32)
We can be understanding and kind when those we love and care for are hurt or upset, but when they do things that cause us anxiety, annoyance, hardship or pain we can be unforgiving. But we are called to be kind and compassionate always - with those we love and care for, as well as, with our enemies. We are called to be God’s presence in the world for all we encounter. It doesn’t matter whether we like someone or not or how they treat us or our love ones. What matters is our response to others. God is all forgiving and compassionate. It is our job to be understanding and forgiving in every circumstance and with every person just as God is with us.
