What blessings come to mind when you contemplate Christ’s goodness? How deep and wide is the magnitude of God’s grace and mercy in your life? Thank God for His patience, ask Him to grow your soul with His generous mercy. Pride resists reaching out to a relationship that hurt its heart, but humility finds a way not to stand in the way of the Spirit’s work. Anyone can ignore someone who ignores them, but thankfulness initiates an interest in what interests the estranged. Meet them where they are comfortable and listen to their issues. Gratitude facilitates forgiveness. Our mortal mind is limited in its understanding of eternal love and our faith easily forgets how foreign our heavenly Father’s forgiveness was to us. Thankfulness, like a rudder on a boat, keeps us moving toward a growing heart of forgiveness. When gratitude to our Savior Jesus grips our heart, we can’t help but extend mercy and grace to a graceless face. Remember how far your heavenly Father has brought you and you will go further in your forgiveness. Be a facilitator not a disruptor of forgiveness. Express your genuine gratitude to God by your generous forgiveness. “All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God” (2 Corinthians 4:15).
