A blow down has knocked over a smaller tree. Looking closely you can see the stump of the tree is under tension. If you tried to cut the tree under tension the tree would snap before it was completely cut through. A dangerous situation.
At times we are hurt by others. Sometimes it is not intended but we feel hurt none the less. If we would yield our pride and forgive them, whether they deserve it or not, this will bring us out of a dangerous place.
Colossians 3:12-13 "So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you."
Father, I don't want to hold animosity toward others. I forgive all.
