In Colossians 3, all that anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from our mouths and related feelings that can be rooted deep within us. Those negative traits are often beloved by us, believe it or not, without us actually realizing it. People hold onto the feelings of hurt since there is pleasure found in being right, and in being a victim. And, often there is the fear that if we forgive a person of an offense, that somehow they won’t pay for what they have done. There is a ‘fear’ that comes up in all of this. Sure, we can hang on to that fear and therefore justify our feelings that they shouldn’t receive our forgiveness, or rather we can choose an attitude of love and realize that everyone should receive our forgiveness. Sounds bold, but everyone is important, and everyone should be extended that forgiveness. That’s what God has done for us. This is the way out. It’s the way that frees everyone from everything.

Verse 14: “And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony” (ESV). That’s the cure. That’s the hope. That’s the attribute we can all strive for. Love. Putting on love. Remember, this is what Peter has told us. He said, “Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins” (1 Peter 4:8, ESV). That’s how healing occurs. The only way that one can move on into the future in a positive way, and a positive way toward the offender, is to see things under a different light, to see circumstances in a new way. It means giving up those old character traits that Paul has been discussing in this chapter, in Colossians 3, all that anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from our mouths and related feelings that can be rooted deep within us. Those negative traits are often beloved by us, believe it or not, without us actually realizing it.

And this line of logic goes for all kinds of life situations. The death of a baby, the fatal car accident, the house burning down, the money down the drain after good intentions, the school shooting, the soldier dying in war. God doesn’t want them. He doesn’t plan them; he isn’t the grand architect behind them. This error has lead so many people to misery, and so many, specifically in our context of today, to unforgiveness, to an unforgiving spirit. But the beautiful thing is, is that despite all these events that God doesn’t want to happen, even after they do happen, there is hope, and that hope is found in Jesus. God is on our sides, and he is the one who leads to healing in situations, whatever those situations are, and when healing isn’t still possible, he’s the one who allows for individuals to move forward in an attitude of love, forgiving whoever it is, and actually living a fruitful life.

There are other beings in the Universe, namely, other people, like your ex-spouse, who can make bad decisions, and the great destroyer, who we know as Satan. These persons have free will, and they can make choices of which God himself cannot even prevent. God cannot always stop Satan from doing certain things, as is commonly believed. God didn’t allow this to happen so that you would learn something, or so that he could teach you something. That’s an incorrect viewpoint, and one that isn’t Scriptural. God didn’t want it to happen; it isn’t part of his plan. The Bible tell us that God hates divorce. It doesn’t say God allows and permits divorce to teach his children certain things. That doesn’t mean he won’t use the situation to bring about good, but he didn’t want it. He didn’t desire it. He didn’t put it is his plan. No, the leaving spouse and Satan desired it, planned it, and executed it.

The only direction toward healing is to accept what has happened. A big hold up for people when it comes to forgiveness is the fact they often get upset with God for the circumstances they find themselves in. The person we are talking about might say, “Why didn’t God prevent this from happening? Why didn’t he help me? Why didn’t God change the other person’s mind?” So the blame shifts to God, and the person believes he is at fault, And many pastors will tell the person in these shoes that, “Oh, God has something for you to learn in life. That’s why this is happening.” Yet, this answer is so clique, and thankfully, isn’t the actual truth. In reality, God doesn’t cause evil to make good come about. Did you know that? Highly unlikely you do because barely anyone says it. There are other beings in the Universe, namely, other people, like your ex-spouse, who can make bad decisions, and the great destroyer, who we know as Satan.
