I was watching "the amazing race" the other day and one of the challange was you had to slide down a steep and very tall water slide to get your next clue which was the clue to the pitt stop. I was frustrated by one couple but amazed at what the guy did in the end. Basically, the girl was scared of height and water so she didnt want to slide down which made them eliminated from the race. In the end, the guy was saying something like " you have to be forgiving and no one is perfect. I thought to myself, "wowwwwwwww" He was very frustrated at her before but eventually genuinely forgave her. What an awesome attitude and I think forgiving others is one of the key to a healthy relationship, whatever relationship it is.
Before knowing what the guy would say, I thought to myself "they would break up after this race" what a normal thought i guess considering the guy was so frustrated at the girl and it was only becoz of a small thing. It seems small to me becoz its not my problem, but if i put myself in her position, i would've do the same thing as she did and it would be a big thing for me.
Hearing what the guy had to say, reminded me of God's grace and how he genuinely forgive me and my sin everytime i make him dissapointed. He never give up on me and would never break the relationship off.
I am challenged as someone who has tasted the Lord's forgiveness to do the same to others as well, whether they would be my family or friends or even strangers who happen to annoy me somehow.
"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." (Ephessians 4:32)
