Our generation is blessed in so many ways. We should be thankful and more understanding, but there are times when we make poor choices. God loves us, His grace is all around us. He loved us so much that He gave His only Son to die for us. He forgave us for all our sins that we can have new life, new hope and grace upon grace. Jesus told us in John 15:17-19 that "These things I command you that you love one another. If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But I chose you out of the world therefore the world hates you."
They hated the Lord of glory, the one who gave His life for them. His own people did not receive Him. Even his family questioned His motives. But when the light of the glorious gospel shone in our hearts, it changed our minds and attitude. God gave us a new heart. Now we can be obedient to His command to love and forgive those who have wronged us. Just leave the outcome to God because He knows all things. Ephesians 4: 31-32 says "Let all bitterness, and worth, and anger and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven us."
