No one is perfect. We all hurt and disappoint each another. And it sucks. Big time. But I think we make the mistake of thinking or even hoping the other person is infallible. Why we set ourselves up for such disappointment, I don't know. And when they don't measure up, we are crushed. Crushed to the point where it becomes difficult to even look at that person let alone be in the same room.
But why are we so quick to dismiss someone when they fail or when they hurt us? Why are we so quick to judge and close up our hearts to forgiveness? Have we forgotten how broken we are? Have we forgotten about the incredible grace and forgiveness we have received? We have been forgiven by our Heavenly Father through His Son Jesus Christ. Our sins have been washed away by His blood. All the junk that we do, through all of our selfishness and disobedience, God still loves us and freely extends His grace to us each and every day even though we don't deserve it. We should do the same with the people in our lives.
Another thing love is... Love is Gracious. Choose to be gracious to someone today.
