Let go of Expectations

Colossians 3:13 "Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another.  Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put in love, which binds them all together in perfect unity."    Forgive as Jesus forgives us.  Bear with one another, whatever the grievance.  Put on love!!   Wow.  This is a tall order.   The only way to do this is to fist be full in Christ Jesus.   (COL.2:9).    On my own thinking I can hold unto resentments.    Often people don't meet my expectations.   They are not supposed to.     I am supposed to love people as they are not as I want them to be.  That is how Jesus loves each of us.   As we are!!!    I'm not saying He enjoys our sinful choices.  Through Jesus we are not our sinful nature we are His righteousness. Let's see His righteousness in each other.   Let's love and forgive with pure hearts,  bearing with each other in love no matter how many times people don't "meet our expectations ".   Avoid resentments by walking in true Christ like love. Love others as they are,  without holding them to “your” expectations. 😇🙏❤️🦅This includes loving ourselves this way!!
