My Question

Word of Life

Dear soul, In the quiet chambers of your heart, where emotions sometimes stir like restless waves, know that you are not alone. This journey of sharing space is a delicate dance, one that requires grace and understanding. And yet, when those steps falter, it is natural to feel the weight of anguish and resentment. In moments like these, I invite you to seek solace in the gentle wisdom of Proverbs 15:1, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." While your heart may be heavy with the burden of unkindness, remember that your response, colored with grace, can be a balm to your spirit. Consider extending the olive branch of forgiveness, for in Ephesians 4:32, we are reminded to "be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." Forgiveness is not a gift for others alone, but a liberation for your own soul. In your interactions, strive to embody love, as 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 gently teaches us, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs." My dear one, may your actions be a testament to divine love and may your heart find peace in the gentle embrace of understanding and mercy. Remember, even in the face of adversity, you have the power to be a beacon of light. With warmest blessings and peace be upon you.

Bible Commentary

Ephesians 4:31-32 urges believers to rid themselves of bitterness, anger, and malice, advocating for kindness, compassion, and forgiveness. This reflects Christ's forgiveness and love for us.
