It’s the deepest act of humility that’s required of us to have total grace

Bringing up two topics in today's Friday Post: good v bad and anger v. moving on, SEELE's editor Ally poses this question, who is really good?- AND- how we decide if we let anger turn to rage versus moving on.

Seele contributor, Thomasena Thomas shares how the last month has been a whirlwind, as she has gone from the busyness of university to having to slow down and move back home. She writes, "my move back home turned into a restoration of the internal. My relationship with God changed when I moved back home." Facing the need to forgive, Thomasena shares what she has gleaned from God when it comes to having to forgive.

Seele Contributor, Shefali Karani shares that one key to success is forgiveness.

The ‘Gift of Forgiveness’ is a fresh, inspiring book on learning how to forgive–with firsthand stories from those who have learned to let go of resentment and find peace.

Unforgiveness and bitterness towards another is really like taking cyanide. It doesn’t hurt or affect another person if we imbibe poison ourselves, and eventually, it will eat away at us and in some way kill us- kill our peace, our physical health, or our relationships.

For our Friday post, Seele's editor shares a unique way to think about bitterness. Bitterness does more harm to you than the person who offended you. Don't become bitter but give them and the offense to God.

Missionary work is truly an impactful experience. This past December, Seele contributor, Thomasena Thomas was able to engage in her first trip abroad through the lens of Christianity and faith to Rwanda in East Central Africa. There she learned about Reconciliation post the Rwandan genocide.

"You have the right to feel anything. You have the right to feel offended. But, if we want to walk in fellowship with God, you don’t have the right to be offended." –John Bevere
