Making allowances

“Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.”Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

For the modern person, even a Christian, this is a tall order. Why, we come first don’t we? No! If we are followers of Christ we must lay down selfishness and clothe ourselves with humility.

Do we even know where to begin? We begin with a repentant prayer and a petition to God to make us aware, teach us and lead us. He will! 

Next we spend time with Him, reading His words to us. His word is full of life. Hebrews 4:12 tells us ‘God’s word is living and active able to pierce bone and marrow, it interprets and discerns the true intentions of the heart.’ Our bibles are the best medicine!

Next we ask for ears to hear His truth and a heart to walk in it. This is humility. Then do it! Amen!
