Speaking personally, these are the greatest challenges of my life: How do I love an enemy? How do I not let a jealous glance freeze my heart? How do I not let a bitter word ruin my day? How do I remain sympathetic when I’m misunderstood? How do I remain warm in the face of bitterness? How do I forgive someone who doesn’t want my forgiveness? How do I forgive others when my own heart is bitter in self-pity? How do I really love and forgive as Jesus did?
