Mrs. Almighty

Brothers and sisters: Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which you were sealed for the day of redemption. All bitterness, fury, anger, shouting, and reviling must be removed from you, along with all malice. And be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another as God has forgiven you in Christ.

So be imitators of God, as beloved children, and live in love, as Christ loved us and handed himself over for us as a sacrificial offering to God for a fragrant aroma. (Ephesians 4:30-5:2)

Mrs. Almighty has a point.  We human beings – we so-called intelligent creatures – tend to act with bitterness, fury, anger, shouting, and reviling.  We are full of all malice. We tend not to be kind to one another, compassionate, or forgiving.  We apes really have messed things up.

If only God could patch us up.  That attempt has been tried through the Son, Jesus, our Christ.  If only we would listen to him.
