Eternal Perspective

Colossians 3:1-2

Recently, I was with one of my longtime Christian friends when I saw another longtime Christian friend. These two friends had a falling out in years past about theological differences. They ignored each other (but acknowledged me) at this chance meeting. It hurt me since I am friends with both. I want them to get along, but they will both need healing first. Eventually they both will spend life together in eternity and will need to get along.

Questions for further thought:
1. Is there someone you still hold a grudge against?
2. Is the grudge, and the hurt friendship worth it?

​Challenge: Reach out to the people you have strained relationships with, especially the Christians. If you need to use a mediator or counseling to help, then use it. Living in eternity with them will be so much better.
