The Master of My Heart

"Be kind, tender-hearted, forgiving one another even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you." The kindest, most tender-hearted people in the world are the forgivers. Their kindness flows from a heart that recognizes and embraces the great love of God for so unworthy a sinner as they are--unworthy but so freely and completely forgiven. Those who respond to others with spite and anger and hurtful words do not have a heart like God's heart. And I don't need to tell you who is controlling their heart and words, do I? "Be kind, tender-hearted, forgiving one another even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you." Who is the master of your heart? Just step back, look at your actions, and listen to your words, and you'll know.
