"Share each other's troubles and problems, and in this way obey the law of Christ." Galatian 6:2
"In real fellowship people experience mercy."
Fellowship is a place of grace, where mistakes aren't rubbed in but rubbed out. Fellowship happens when mercy wins over justice. We all need mercy, at one point we all fall down and we stumble and we need some help to get back on our feet and back on track. We need to give mercy to eachother and be willing to accept it from others.
God says, "When people sin, you should forgive and comfort them, so they won't give up in despair." God also warns , "Never hold grudges," because bitterness and resentment always destroy fellowship. I should know this from first hand. Especially me who tends to hold all the hurtfulness that people give me. The Bible says, "You must make allowance for each other's faults and forgive the person who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others." Revelation 21:4
Whenever you are hurt by someone, you have a choice to make: Will I use my energy and emotions for retaliation or for resolution? You can't do both. Many people are reluctant to show mercy because they don't understand the difference between trust and forgiveness. Forgiveness is letting go of the past. Trust had to do with future behavior. Forgiveness must be immediate, whether or not a person asks for it. Trust must be rebuilt over time. Trust requires a track record. Of someone hurts you repeatedly, you are commanded by God to forgive them instantly, but you are not expected to trust them immediatedly, and you are not expected to allow them to continue hurting you.They must prove they have changed over time. The best place to restore trust is within the supportive context of a small group that offers both encouragement and accountability.
