Love & Hate

Ephesians 4:32
Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.

I have a love-hate relationship with this verse. Love, because it sets forth practical truth in a way that takes you straight to the cross, eliminating any reason for pride, giving us the firm foundation for why bitterness and unforgiveness has no place in the heart that loves God. Sometimes, though it feels like hate, because my flesh is terrible at leaning on the grace to be kind, tender-hearted, and full of forgiveness. Then again, that's just pride, isn't it?
