A Short Time With Larry 9-28-2020 Forgive Lee
Colossians 3:13-14, “Bear with each other, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against anyone: even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love (agape), which is the bond of perfection.”
After the Civil War, Robert E. Lee visited a Kentucky lady who took him to the remains of a once beautiful old tree in front of her house. There she bitterly cried that its limbs and trunk had been destroyed by Federal artillery fire. She looked to Lee for a word condemning the North or at least sympathizing with her loss. After a brief silence, Lee said;
"Cut it down, my dear Madam, and forget it."
Do you have any “trees” haunting you? Follow General Lee’s and Paul’s, advice cut it down and get on with life.
