Good morning! How are we faithing? It is interesting that the ones that really get to us are within our own family. A stranger calls you a name or tries to battle, besides physical self defense, they don't really matter.  Jesus spoke of this and so did Micah;

Mat 10:36  And a man's foes shall be those of his own household. 

Mic 7:6  For the son dishonors the father; the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man's enemies are the men of his own household. 

I had to think about those verses and there are others on this subject, but I realized just how true these are. We all have things in our minds closet that show up from time to time and at least for me, the battles are with loved ones. The people that can push my buttons are the ones I love. How about you?

Heavenly Father, Help us be mindful of past hurts and help us forgive completely. Help us understand this life is short and we are forgiven by you therefore we want to forgive the same. Grant us strength and wisdom to behave and offer our forgiveness to whomever steps on us. In Jesus name, amen
