But love covers all sins."
And his mouth calls for blows.
A fool's mouth is his destruction,
And his lips are the snare of his soul.
The words of a *talebearer (gossip or slander) are like
*tasty trifles, (A Jewish tradition reads wounds)
And they go down into the *inmost
body." (Lit. rooms of the belly)
Note: This is what I feel in my belly when people say harmful things to me. It's like tense in the pit of your stomach when you are spiritually attacked. swallow,
So a curse without cause shall not
alight."
See (Have You Done Wrong? - Make It Right!)
Note: If you try to ask forgiveness and the other person refuses to forgive you it's OK. You made things right between you and God. That person will have to do the same."Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift."
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the
power and the glory forever. Amen.
For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavely Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
Note: It is God's will for us to forgive so we may be forgiven. Notice where the comas are in this prayer. We are forgiven by God as we forgive others. Note: I would rather loose people than bind them, and myself. Note: No matter how you look at it we are called, as Christians, to act on any strife that may occur. Don't hold that stuff in until you burst. Speak to each other, gently, to solve problems.
'Therefore if your enemy hungers, feed
him;
If he thirsts, give him a drink;
For in so doing you will heap coals of
fire on his head.' (Prov. 25:21-22)
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
See (Overcomers - In Jesus)
Note: This is why I would rather ask people to forgive me for something that bothers them than to say "I'm sorry." I see that "I'm sorry." does not require a response. It's a statement that may or may not be sincere, but when you ask to be forgiven it is a question that needs to be answered. Always remember: The small things are easy to forgive. But the big things must be forgiven.
