It’s not easy! A lot Christians think it’s supposed to be easy, it’s not... I don’t know where they read that because it wasn’t in the Bible. There’s always going to be someone that tries your patience. They make it so hard for you to love them that you’d rather just kill them. But if you hate them, then you’ve already committed murder in your heart. I am guilty of that, thank God that murder isn’t the unpardonable sin! I’ve hated too many people, but I’m past that now... However, occasionally someone comes along that really tries me. They really put me through the test. Right now there’s someone in particular that is putting me through it, and they’re doing a better job than almost anyone I’ve ever went up against before. They’re making it personal because they’re taking advantage of someone in my family. But that gives me no right to hate them. So, you see no matter what the situation we cannot allow hate to fill our hearts.

I’m reminded of a story that I read awhile back. It was a sad yet beautiful story and it’s a true story. I read it in the news, and I posted the article here. There was an Omish Christian (I believe it was) family that had their children killed at school by a gunman. The gunman was shot down, killed... But what did this omish family do? They comforted the gunman’s family! They gave to his family! How many of us could do that?! I think that takes a BIG person to do that. I think they were doing it in order to help themselves forgive the gunman as well, but that’s just amazing. That’s the power of Christ. When Christ was being crucified on the cross, He said "...Father forgive them for they know not what they do..." He forgave His own killers! Because if He wouldn’t of then it would’ve been darkness, and we know that Christ has no part with the devil! We shouldn’t either.
