We Can Learn A Lot From A Child

The other night Tim had accused Christian of doing something he hadn't.

As Christian walked away, with tears in his eyes, I told Tim that Christian had not done what he suspected.

Tim called Christian back in the room.

Tim: "Christian, I am sorry. Do you forgive me?"

Christian wraps his arms around Tim's neck, starts to cry, and says right into Tim's ear,

"I will always forgive you, Dad."

He left with a smile on his face, and Tim and I were left with a lesson.

Always.

He said, he would always forgive.

Sometimes it isn't easy to forgive, but the Lord calls us to forgive.

"Try to understand other people. Forgive each other. If you have something against someone, forgive him. That is the way the Lord forgave you." Colossians 3:13
