Thought for Today: “Life’s Antibiotic”

The happiest people are less forgetting and more forgiving.

Everyone gets hurt by someone! Sometimes these hurts are verbal. What people say to you or about you, people calling you names. Other times these hurts are non-verbal. These are times when people turn their back on you, or a lack of affirmation. Hurts may also be physical, such as the hurts of abuse, either as a child or as an adult.

People carry around deep and painful wounds, wounds of betrayal, wounds of disappointment.

But there is a cure, forgiveness. Forgiveness is life’s antibiotic that when taken will bring health to body, soul, and spirit. It’s life’s antibiotic that will bring back life.

“Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:31-32)
