Forgiving The Hurt

By Derius Zeigler

"Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted,who ate my bread,has lifted up his heel against me" (Psalm 41:9). The pain, hurt, & anger we usually endure is often a result of those closest to us, not by the hand of strangers. But, however we respond will determine if we become strangers, or not. Never allow a day to pass,  if you've  hurt someone without asking them to forgive you, & if you've been hurt by someone forgive them. Don't allow pride to make you strangers.

- The preceding is a word of encouragement sent by a dear friend and colleague, Derius Zeigler of Montgomery, Alabama.
