Lessons from Sydney #2

“I just love Zoe”.  Not the words you expect from a 6 year old that just had 2 legs broken by a dog.  Now, I knew it wasn’t the dogs fault.  As a matter of fact I was busy blaming myself for not stopping it.  Zoe was only acting like dogs do, and Sydney’s bones were so fragile from being non-weight bearing.  

But Sydney not only forgave her, but was proclaiming her LOVE for her.  Her next move was to call my nephew, the dog’s owner, because she didn’t want him to feel sad. 

Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against another.  Forgive as the Lord forgave you.  And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.  Colossians 3:13-14

God calls us not just to forgive each other, but to forgive as he forgave us.  

Without holding grudges

 Without blame, 

and as Sydney reminds us, 

to forgive and to love.
