Everyone has someone in their lives that is offended them. But if we hold onto an offense, it can grow to resentment and anger. Looking to others who have done something wrong and then rejecting an entire group of people, religion, or belief based on that offense shows a lack of wisdom. Just because an individual does something wrong, does not mean that what they represent is also wrong.

If for example, a math teacher turned out to be a lying thief, it does not mean that math is bad. It only means that that person was bad. Likewise, since Christians are not perfect, they make mistakes. But it does not mean that Christianity is not true because of it.

Christians mess up like anyone else. That’s a fact.  But, can you find it in your heart to forgive them? I think that is what they would do for you.

Maybe they didn’t know they wronged you. Also, ask yourself if it was something really bad, or was it just a mistake? Have you gone to them and spoken to them about it? Maybe if you were to forgive them, you would begin to understand the forgiveness God has for you. We all need to be forgiven, don’t you agree?
