Leviticus 19:17-18 (ESV)

Originally published 05/29/2017

God demands his followers to have healthy relationships with each other. "You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but you shall reason frankly with your neighbor, lest you incur sin because of him. You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD" Leviticus 19:17-8 (ESV). People can treat us badly, but our reaction to what they do becomes sin on our part. Avoiding sin means we get rid of anger, hatred, and a desire to get even. Lord, help me to recognize what I have done to create bad relationships, and show me what to do so that they might feel loved.
