“Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you” (Ephesians 4:31-32).
These verses show a sharp contrast in behavior. Unless we are willing to change, we won’t see a change in our heart condition. Physically it is about mindset. In terms of the spiritual, it is a heart set. We must allow the love of Christ to flow through us by being kind one to another. It is great therapy for the heart.
The real test of passing our heart check is found in “forgiving one another.” Are we flunking this part of the test? If so, make another appointment with the Great Physician. As we look next week at more ways to strengthen our hearts, let us apply the things we have learned from Ephesians 4.
