Put up with it cause HE puts up with you.

Put up with each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Colossians 3:13

As I read the verse above, I was transported back decades to a scene that seemed like yesterday. I even remember where I stood.

That day I was furious with someone and popped off at GOD, "YOU told me that I would walk away from YOUR plans for me if I walked away from this situation and now he has blocked them so I might as well walk."

Then all of a sudden I began rememberinging things. Situation after situation came to mind showing me stuff GOD had forgiven me for. All of a sudden I realized that I was no longer mad for the anger had seeped right out of me.

It was amazing that as I saw HIS forgiveness (was reminded of how HE had forgiven me through JESUS) HIS forgiveness seemed to flow from me.

Guess that is what it means when the Bible says "we are being changed little by little by the HOLY SPIRIT into JESUS' likeness" (2Cor 3:18) and "we shall be like HIM(JESUS) when we see HIM(JESUS) for we shall see HIM as HE is."(I John 3:2)
