We have so many opportunities to treat others poorly, or treat them right. From the way we talk to the checkout person at the grocery store, to our boss, mate or neighbor, we are flooded with opportunities to treat others right or poorly. Scripture tells us to “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32). Here we read not only are we to be tenderhearted, but to remember that we have been forgiven much and are indebted to forgive others. We have been treated kindly and so are able to treat others kindly as well.
