Ephesians 4:32 says, “And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.” Kind means to be gentle and pleasant. I want to stop right now. Think of someone that you are struggling with. Please take a moment and think kind thoughts.

Proverbs 4:23 says that unresolved issues will spring up when we least expect them. If we are entertaining unkind thoughts about someone we need to beware. They will become unkind words at some point.

Matthew 15:19 says, “For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts…” Our heart is our belief center. If we believe that we have been wronged and we stuff it, it will seep into our thought processes. Allowing an offense to fester, not only destroys our health, but it defiles those around us. Hebrews 12:15. Forgiveness is a command not an option. Agape is kind. 1 Corinthians 13:4.
