"We often believe that reconciliation should be painless and immediate, with both sides quickly forgiving and forgetting."

However, the Bible reminds us in Colossians chapter three, verse thirteen: "Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."

Be patient with each other and forgive anyone who has upset you, just like God forgives us when we do something wrong. It's important to let go of hurt feelings and show kindness to others, just like God shows kindness to us.
