Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you. (Ephesians 4:31-32)
If you want to have great relationships with others, this verse is for you. It is so easy to be angry at people that are bothering you and say mean things about them or do mean things to them. However, God is calling you to be kind, tenderhearted, and forgiving. This is only possible when you understand that God was kind to you by sending His Son to die on the cross for you. While we were still yet sinners, Christ died for us. ~ Jeff M Newman
