STUMBLING BLOCKS THAT AFFECT THE HEART
Jesus said, "It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come" (Matthew 18:7).
To preserve the quality of love in your heart, you must forgive those who have caused you to stumble.
Every time you refuse to forgive or fail to overlook a weakness in another, your heart not only hardens toward them, it hardens toward God. You cannot form a negative opinion of someone (even though you think they may deserve it!) and allow that opinion to crystallize into an attitude; for every time you do, an aspect of your heart will cool toward God.
You may still think you are open to God, but the Scriptures are clear:
"The one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen" (1 John 4:20).
You may not like what someone has done, but you do not have an option to stop loving them. Love is your only choice.
