In the 19th chapter of 2nd Samuel,we find a man with a heart like Jesus, Almost,His name was King David.People had cursed him,lied to him so that he was not sure about them.He had conflicts with some people and He resolved them by forgiving them.Did he have reason to be angry and vengeful,but instead he treated these people as if they deserved to sit at the best seats at the table etc. He showed tons of mercy to those that cursed him,threatened him,and in some cases deserved to be put to death. The longer i live,and the more i mingle with people,even my fellow Christian brothers and sisters, i seem to find myself as the target for people that say crude things,hurt my feelings a little bit,especially when i do not feel well. But i must let the Holy Spirit show me how Christ sees them.And He does and it gives me peace that can only come from Him. Its called working through conflicts under the direction of the Holy Spirit.Lord help me show mercy when i am working through my conflicts,and then for those that stand with me help me show them gratitude.
