[B]Joe: [/B] Every time my wife gets mad at me, she gets historical.
[B]Fred: [/B] Joe, you mean 'hysterical,' don't you?
[B]Joe: [/B]No, I mean historical. She reminds me of everything I've ever done wrong.
[B]Woodrow Kroll: [/B] Every relationship has its share of events that are best forgotten—like the time, wives, your husband left his greasy work clothes on your new carpet or your dinner became a burnt offering as you waited for him to show up late from work.
But before these things can be forgotten, they must be forgiven. Ephesians 4:32 says, "And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you."
Just like all human beings, husbands are fallible creatures and need their wives' forgiveness. Our model of forgiveness is God Himself. If a holy God can forgive you, isn't it possible you can forgive your husband? After all, that's what makes you the most like God.
If you want to learn more about this subject, take your Bible and read Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 2:13 or 1 John 1:9.
When you understand how much God has forgiven you, it will be easier to forgive others, even your husband. |
