I get it wrong. A lot. I want grace when I wrong someone, too. So, I must be mindful to bear with others and FORGIVE as the Lord forgave ME.

This stands in stark contrast to God’s word that tells me to consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds (James 1:2, NIV).
Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God?
