We all do things that we are not particularily not proud of. What I mean by that is we all do things wrong and sometimes it involves wronging other people, especially friends. This also means other people do the same, even our friends. So when that happens, what do you do? Do you try to pick a fight, start arguing, run and gossip about it? Or do you make a choice to forgive and drop it? When we make a choice to pick a fight, argue, etc...it doesn't stop there. It has a snowballing effect. Once you start arguing, no matter how right you think you are, even if it is a little thing, strife immediately begins between the two people, and from there "well I've got to tell 'so and so' about this" and then "so and so" tells someone else, and soon a lot of people are involved that should never have been involved. Some of those "shouldn't have been involved" people are now angry at the person who didn't do anything to them. But when we choose to forgive and move on, strife has no opportunity to develop. When we handle things in a Godly manner, nothing but peace can result AND if someone is in the wrong, forgiving that person allows God to deal with the one who was wrong.
Take Away: choose to forgive and drop it. If you choose to quarrel, it can only end up with more people getting hurt.
