Give them another chance.



Matthew  18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

When people are upset they say and do the wrong things.  At times such as these,  it's easy for you to become critical of them  and arrive at the wrong conclusion. 

Instead,  slow down; ask God for patience and understanding.  Don't force others to live by their past while you expect yours to be forgotten

Whatever you sow in mercy,  you'll reap a hundred times over.

Everybody makes mistakes,  so give them a chance to come back into the relationship with dignity. 

How long has it taken you to correct the mistakes in your life?,  aren't you still working on some?,  are you glad people don't know the whole story of your struggles? 

So give people time ; give them an opportunity to explain themselves. 

Jesus put up with Peter's weaknesses because He knew what Peter would one day become ,  Jesus explained a better way to forgive to Peter...  'seventy tines seven'

The person that deny you today,  May be your only hope tomorrow...

Give people another chance when they come back with a heart of forgiveness and humility.

God bless you.
