Ephesians 4 (Part 5) :25-32 Living the New Life

Ephesians 4 beginning in verse 25 follow along as I read it says therefore having put away falsehood let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor for we are members of one of another be angry and do not sin do not let the Sun go down on your anger and give no opportunity to the devil let the thief no longer steal but rather let him labour doing honest work with his own hands so that he may have something to share with anyone in need let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths but only such as is good for building up as fits the occasion that it may give grace to those who hear and do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you along with all malice be kind to one another tender-hearted forgiving one another as God in Christ forgave you stop there let's pray Holy Spirit we come before you always when we are ready to open our hearts to the word because we know that you are the one who enlightens us so that we can actually hear you are the one who enables us to have those spiritual ears to hear a heart to receive you are the one who applies the word to our lives and you fill us with understanding and insight and we're asking you to do that here today because as we dig into your word we want to grow we pray that you'd help us to do it and we ask it in the name of Jesus Christ who is Savior amen in the previous verses that we covered here on Sunday morning fact last week you'll remember that Paul was talking about the old you the meaning the person that you used to be before you came to Christ he called it the old self it's referred different ways in different even translations but it's just the old nature the old you the old self and he said that we are to put it off put it off stop stop living that way and now begin to live with the new you the new self which is being created in the image of God to put on the new self and we talked all about that last week and now he begins in these final verses of chapter 4 to give us practical insights about what that means because you can say all day long put on the new self put on the new self but if you're not giving given some specific understanding of of what he's dealing with what he's talking about you might kind of be at a loss so he begins by just talking about very practical excitation 'he's that demonstrate this new life that we've been given in Christ and he begins by saying therefore having put away past tense falsehood in other words that was part of your old life now he says let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor and he's talking about specifically those who are in the body of Christ and in fact that's why he says for we are members of one another in other words the falsehood that used to be demonstrated in our previous life he says we're to put it off and then and and the word falsehood really includes every form of dishonesty that might kind of come from us everything from making promises that are ultimately not kept - betraying a confidence or false flattery or any other number of ways that we might stretch the truth or exaggerate or something like that basically what he's saying is a believers word needs to be trustworthy when we say something we need to mean it re are yes needs to mean yes and our no should mean no and the reason again that Paul gives for this kind of truthfulness is we are members one of another and what he means by that is we are the body of Christ and you can't have a body that is being deceitful to other members of the body and have that body function let me give you an example you know I mean the Bible is full of examples of our our relationship as the body of Christ by using a physical body we consider it a pretty serious matter when someone's physical body is doing things that it shouldn't do such as the nervous system is sending signals to the brain that are wrong we consider that a fairly serious issue we would consider that a dysfunctional body and we would say this person you know needs some kind of medical help or something like that and it's obviously a serious matter when someone's eyesight is so bad that they can no longer perceive a threat when it becomes very real in their lives they can't see danger approaching and in and and so you know that danger becomes very imminent and serious in their lives why the body isn't functioning like it should it wasn't functioning it's not functioning like it was intended to function now think about that as it relates to you and I if I'm telling you something that isn't true that's like a nervous system telling you no the rest of the body something's going on when in fact it is not and that body is not going to function properly we as the body of Christ will not function properly apart from truth we need to speak truth one to another and that is what Paul is telling us to do and I think that there's another aspect of this exhortation to speak truth that we need to think about as well and that is how it relates to people outside of the body I think we need to be very careful to be those that person who passes along information that's unsubstantiated we're not really sure if it's true but I'm just going to pass this along because it's really sensational and and you might need to know this I'm not really sure it's true and we do that whether it's on email or Facebook or Instagram or wherever you happen to be on social media and and we throw things out there because you know people love to pass things along regardless of whether it's true if it's sensational that's all I need and go out it goes and here the problem we're Christians and we've been given the message of truth which is the good news that Jesus died for the sins of the world we can't afford to be labeled as someone who's unreliable related to speaking the truth to people's lives and if you and I are caught saying something or passing along some information that isn't true and we find out later on I guess that wasn't true sorry about that guys well people begin to kind of wonder about the reliability of our ability to pass along information speak the truth in it and if somebody tells you something and or you hear something or something's passed along to you and you don't know if it's true don't pass it along until you know because we are purveyors of the truth we have been commissioned to take his truth to the world we can't afford to be seen as anything less than truthful so the next area where Paul encourages us to demonstrate the new life of Christ is in verse 26 where he says be angry and do not sin notice Paul doesn't say never be angry he simply says be angry fine but don't sin and the reason we know that anger isn't necessarily a sin is because Jesus got angry on some occasions and we know that he was always without sin so it's possible to be angry and not sin but there's one very important thing you need to remember about that you're not Jesus and neither am i and the possibility for you and I to get angry and flesh out is really good and so we need to be very very careful about it and that is why Paul counsels us in our anger not to sin in fact he goes on to give us this advice don't let the Sun go down on your anger and that's pretty interesting statement but it simply means don't sit and nurse a grudge or nurse that anger a nurse that offense don't let too much time pass before you resolve that issue now wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute how do I resolve that issue it's one thing to be angry it's another thing for somebody to say hey listen don't sin in your anger well what exactly does that mean and and how can I resolve that if theirs doesn't seem to be any resolution well you got to take it to the Lord you got to bring it to God and and and and talk to him about it you know that's one thing I love about going through the Psalms which we're doing now on Wednesday night David took his issues and his anger to the Lord and I know that he was genuinely angry about certain things and certain men in the way they treated him and others and he brought it to the Lord and he vented there you know there's nothing in the Word of God that tells us to repress our emotions you know that's just not a smart thing to do because it's gonna make you sick or crazy or both and it's gonna come back some other way so we don't repress things we we have to you know bring those things and talk about them to God like I said sometimes there is no way to resolve an issue with somebody else you just got to go Lord yeah I got it you know this last week I had a situation where I was I was at the gas pump and I was just filling up my pickup which takes forever anyway I'm standing there with my hand on the thing so it'll go a little bit faster and there's a couple of ladies in the next thing aisle whatever and they're kind of getting into it with each other and I'm sitting there kind of thinking really and and one of them was mad because the other one wouldn't get her car out of the way so she could pull out and and it was not a big deal and I remember after I got done pumping my gas and I got in the car I was kind of like bothered and I was like seething about it I was like how stupid that was for these women to kinda go over here at each other you know and it's like all you need to do is just say ma'am could you slide your car over a little bit so I can get out or some like that and but instead this one is using foul language and it's just getting weird and and I'm thinking to myself how dumb is that so I'm driving along I'll bother you know and then even do it to me you know but I'm still bothered by this thing and I thought good grief how much more susceptible am I to nursing issues when they're personal you know this one wasn't even personal and I was just kind of couldn't let it go you know how dumb but you know we do that don't we and and so Paul says don't let the Sun go down on your anger in other words when you get hurt when you get offended when somebody has really messed you over bring it to God come to the throne of grace you got to just start praying about it lord I know that holding this in is not good this is gonna mess me up for the rest of the day I know that I'm not gonna treat people I love with the kind of grace and forgiveness and tenderness that I need to because I'm sitting here seething over this thing so lord I bring this to you I just I need to release this God give me the strength so no nursing grudges no harboring resentment no keeping a record of wrongs which we like to do let me remind some you have something about our anger given to us by James in Chapter one of James on the screen verses 19 to 20 he says know this my beloved brothers he's talking to believers let every person be quick to hear slow to speak and slow to anger why for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God okay so our anger and the things that we see the over and get upset about you're not gonna bring about the righteousness of God through that anger so let's take it to the Lord these are things these are things that that that kind of anger that's the old life next paul says in verse 28 let the thief no longer steal but rather let him labor notice he says even doing honest work there's all kinds of honest work out there to do but you'll notice that Paul's comment about not stealing is directly connected with the exhortation to do work or to do honest work and you know I think to myself wow if that doesn't apply to the United States of America today I don't know what does we are living in a culture today in a society where people are every day stealing from the government by accepting assistance on false terms when they could be working and it's a staggering issue in our country and I wouldn't want to be the president and have to deal with it but here's the deal as believers were to have no part of it as believers I mean it's one thing if there's a genuine need if but as believers we are not to steal when we are capable of doing honest work and I want you to notice too that Paul gives us an interesting thought related to why we work look at the end of verse 28 he says so that you may have something to share with those who are in need it gives a new spin on why we work doesn't it we tend to think about I'm going to work so I can earn money and you know buy things for me and my family and we can put food on the table and clothes on our back and and all the things that you know we do with our money and Paul makes reference to working hard so that you might give to other people that interesting so the purpose for getting is giving hmm let me show you a very interesting proverb from chapter 19 of the Proverbs it says whoever is generous to the poor actually lends to the Lord and got by the way God has a very good record-keeping system and he will repay that gives a different sort of an understanding - on the whole idea of giving and why we get next Paul goes in verse 29 on to say let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths but only such as is good for building up as fits the occasion that it may give grace to those who hear how many of you were raised with your mother telling you if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all we learned that from Bambi for heaven's sake that was something thumper taught us so you guys aren't even old enough to remember that well this is the biblical version of that same thing that's essentially what Paul is saying only speak words this again this is the new life okay this is not the old life used to backbite and say hurtful things but the new life that is in Christ let it only be the expression of words that build people up can you imagine what the body of Christ would be like if we were to obey this command if we only said things to one another that were helpful we'd be incredible everybody would want to come to this church and then they'd ruin it probably by well you know think about think about as it relates to marriage what if married couples made the determination in their heart and mind that they will never speak a word to one another that is hurtful ever again I'd be out of a job as it relates to marriage counseling which would delight me no end I don't mind telling you you know I but I've also been married for 40 years and I know what it's like to mess up in that area and to say things that are not something that edifies but in fact tears down we need to be quick to ask for forgiveness in those cases but I think we also need to make the determination I'm just I'm not gonna say anything the hurts I'm not going to say because you know why we do that we do it to get back don't we so when somebody's hurt us or done something or said something to us that's a little bit painful or whatever we just kind of just we just lash out with our words you know we've been hurt so we hurt back and we do double damage because we've been hurt and now we're hurt back now we're both hurting now where are we we're a mess and the very mouth that God gave us to praise him is now being used to do damage look what James says in the third chapter of his letter verses 9 and 10 he says with the tongue we praise our Lord and father and with it we curse men by the way who were made in his likeness but he says out of the same mouth come praising cursing my brothers this should not be and we wholeheartedly agree it should not be well that's ok pastor I never say anything mean to anybody at least not to their face always do it behind their back so it's not a problem no that's a problem too we we don't say anything you know we shouldn't say anything hurtful about anyone ever because this is the new life this is the character of Christ that is residing in us by faith through the Holy Spirit this is him this is what he's doing this is his work we need to yield to that work resist the old life yield to the new work that's going on in us because that met Christ in you he will never say something hurtful about somebody else he won't ever do that you and I will do that but when we do make no mistake about it it's the flesh talking it's the old stinking corrupted flesh that is talking verse 30 Paul goes on here's the next thing and do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption and most people look at this verse and they see it as the key to this entire passage because grieving the Holy Spirit I mean the all the things that we've mentioned previously lying unrighteous anger stealing corrupt talking they all grieve the Holy Spirit so Paul is kind of using this as a catch-all if in case there's something that I haven't mentioned let me just say this don't grieve the Holy Spirit okay with whom you've been sealed for the day of redemption all of those our grieving to the spirit and it's really kind of incredible to think about the fact that what I do or what I say can actually grieve the holy spirit and that amazing we tend to think about you know possibly hurting other people and we can understand that because we've seen that happen we've seen the look in their eyes when we say something or or whatever but we don't usually connect with the idea of what I did hurt God I mean hurt him caused him sorrow we don't usually think about that if we did I think we would do less things that potentially could do that now conviction is obviously part of that process every time we're convicted of something that we've done or said that's the Holy Spirit speaking to us through that conviction to say that wasn't good those bad thing and you know you know what that's like you say something to somebody and a fit of anger or whatever and immediately you're just convicted by the spirit and you're like oh I wish I could take that back but you can't and you know that there's nothing left now but to go back and apologize and try to make it right or whatever the situation may call for but conviction is one thing but I'm talking about something even more significant and I'm I want to ask you has the Holy Spirit ever communicated to you the depth of his sorrow over some of something you've done or said I asked that question because it's only happened to me once that I know of I mean that I can really recall and it was a time in my life when you know I won't get into all that but I was engaged in some activity I was very young very very young as a believer and I was still hanging on to areas of sin in my life that I had engaged in as a unbeliever I had not let go of those areas yet and I was driving along in my car very cognizant of the fact that I had been dealing with things that wasn't good or whatever and I wasn't feeling anything particularly as I was driving along but suddenly the Holy Spirit just communicated to me it was kind of like him saying I want to show you how what you've done to me and I felt this sorrow I felt this sadness I felt this disappointment that washed over me like a wave of the ocean that I could not contain and I didn't just cry and I'm not a crier I didn't just cry I sobbed uncontrollably for several minutes as the Lord just communicated to me the depth of his sorrow over my stupidity and it was one of the most life-changing things I've ever experienced in my entire life and I'm here to tell you that that particular sin that he showed me his sorrow over I have never gone back and committed again it was it was one of those incredible life-changing sorts of things but it made me realize something very significant and that is I am NOT disconnected from my God my life is not disconnected from his I mean good grief he's the head I'm part of the body if something happens to you as a part of the body is your head unaware of it does your head not feel and understand the depth of pain that that member of the body is involved in of course Jesus is not cut off and aloof from what's going on with the life of his body as well and when the Holy Spirit communicates the grief that we have caused him related to our own sin it is a powerful powerful thing we can grieve the Holy Spirit as crazy as it sounds and by the way this is an aside okay but this statement that Paul makes here in Ephesians about grieving the Holy Spirit is proof positive that the Holy Spirit is a person and I'm giving you that as proof not that you need it but I'm sharing it with you in the case that you might ever take on a conversation with someone who's trying to convince you that the Holy Spirit is not a person but is rather a force like gravity or wind because there are many people who believe that and if anybody challenges you with that I would encourage you to take him to Ephesians chapter 4 and have him read that verse out loud about grieving the Holy Spirit and then follow it up by asking them when when is the last time they grieved gravity or the wind and if they struggle with that when take him to Acts chapter 5 which talks about Ananias and Sapphira where where Peter confronts Ananias with lying to the Holy Spirit and then ask them this when's the last time you lied to gravity or to the wind it's not possible because those things are forces but you can lie to the Holy Spirit and you can grieve the Holy Spirit because he is a person but this reminder that I've kind of injected here about the personhood of the Holy Spirit should not distract us from the exhortation that Paul is giving in these verses related to we who are sealed by the Holy Spirit not living in such a way so as to grieve him with our fleshly words and actions which we can very well and easily do verse 31 he says let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you along with malice so he mentions these five things bitterness bitterness is a terrible thing bitterness is disappointment could be disappointment with someone bitterness can even come from disappointment from with God and it turns to anger and that anger over time smolders into bitterness and you can be talking to somebody who's bitter and not even realize it but bitterness can captivate you and you can become a slave to it do you guys remember when Philip brought the gospel into Samaria and people were getting saved left and right so Peter and John went up to Samaria see what the deal was up there and it says that people had had been getting saved but they had the the Holy Spirit did not yet come upon which is the baptism of the Spirit they'd not yet received the baptism of the Spirit so they started laying hands on people and they started receiving the Holy Spirit with you know the baptism of the Spirit if these people were already saved but but so Peter and John are laying hands on these people and there's obviously a manifestation of the Spirit taking place because this man named Simon the sorcerer came up to Peter and offered him money he said he cuz he had been kind of a magician type person who impressed people he tried to offer him monies is he here here give me that ability so when I lay my hands on people they receive the Holy Spirit you remember what Peter said to him he said may your money perish with you for thinking that you can purchase or by the power and the gift of the Holy Spirit and then he went on to say this for I see you are full of bitterness and captive to sin and by the way that was a word of knowledge okay in other words the Holy Spirit dropped it in Peters heart to know and understand what this man's true condition was he was he was literally a slave to bitterness bitterness is horrible let me show you what the book of Hebrews has to say on the subject of bitterness it says see to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God and that no root of bitterness springs up and causes trouble because if it does let me tell you something it's gonna defile a lot of people it's gonna affect a lot of people bitterness is horrible don't let it continue in your life if you recognize bitterness bring it to the cross and ask God to help you deal with it because I'm telling you it's only gonna hurt you it's gonna hurt you and it's gonna hurt your relationships yeah he next talks about wrath which is angry outbursts is what that refers to ours the NIV actually uses the word rage that's part of the old life okay that that raging anger that just rises up white-hot and hurt so many people it's it's it's it's not part of the new life that is ours in Christ he talks about anger this is the Greek word or gay and-and-and it refers to just a constant settled anger that continues and cannot be abated clammer is the next word that Paul uses here in the ESV it actually means brawling okay it's it's somebody who gets into fistfights regularly because he's just mad he's angry and people are always bugging him and getting in his way and and he's ready to fight at the drop of a pin and and and Paul says that's part of the old life it's part of the flesh right it's not part of the work that Jesus is doing inside of you next is slander and slander as you know is angry words that have the intent of dragging someone's reputation through the mud in fact what it means is I'm telling you and I might not be doing this to the person's face probably not as a matter of fact most people don't have the courage to do that so what they'll do is they'll go behind their back talk about somebody in a slanderous way so as to damage their reputation it's part of the old life we don't do that hey if you can't go to the person that you're angry with and deal with it directly face-to-face in the power and grace and strength of the Lord then you got a bigger problem than what that person did to you take it to them and take it to the Lord but do not talk to others don't do it that's slanderous and it's part of the old flesh life it's the rotten stinking corrupted flesh and then finally he uses the word malice which is the intention of anger to do harm to think it through to work it out to intend to do it Paul says put all these things away all these different expressions of anger and then he ends finally with a positive XOR tation in verse 32 he says be kind to one another tender-hearted for giving one another as God in Christ forgave you so three commands be kind I think we all know what kindness is tender-hearted refers to compassionate not hard-hearted and then forgiving and that last command comes with an example be forgiving as you've been forgiven as God in Christ forgave you in other words as freely as you've been forgiven forgive others I'm gonna preface the next thing I have to say to you by telling you ahead of time that what you're about to hear is my opinion and so you might want to just turn off your ears for a moment because my opinions aren't worth a lot but here goes nothing I believe that unforgiveness and when I talk about unforgiveness I mean the unwillingness to forgive is what is behind much of what our society labels as mental and emotional illness now that is my personal opinion but I do believe that the unwillingness to forgive has a crippling effect on the person who is unwilling to forgive and as believers there are few things few very few that are more deadly and more grieving to the Lord than our unwillingness to forgive and you know frankly I get a lot of questions about this by email or whatever people wanting to know about they they understand that the Bible commands us to forgive but what they want to know is they want to know when they want to know when they should forgive and so I get all these questions from time to time and it's and it's not uncommon at all you know so explain to me here pastor Paul when should I forgive my brother do I need to wait until he asks me for forgiveness or how about I think I don't I don't think I need to forgive him until he repents right you know my question there my answer to their question is a question back to them and and that is well when do you want to be free because you see unforgiveness is what binds you not them it's what puts you behind bars and so the question is so when exactly do you want to be free you know most of you guys know that Jesus told a parable about this is about a master who had a servant who owed him an incredible amount of money what probably today would be millions and millions of dollars and the master decided to call in the loan and the servant came and fell on his knees before the master and begged for more time to pay it back and he said please give me be patient with me and I'll pay this all that and the master was so moved with pity toward this individual that he ended up just forgiving the entire debt altogether just canceled the whole thing now we're told in the parable that after that took place this servant went out and found a fellow servant who owed him what amounted to a few dollars grabbed him by the throat and demanded immediate repayment well the second servant said the same as the first please be patient with me and I'll pay back everything I owe you but instead of responding graciously this first servant through the second servant in to debtors prison until he might repay the entire debt now you guys also know the rest of the story word got back to the master about what the servant he had forgiven had done he called that servant in and was very angry toward him and said should you not have shown mercy on your fellow servant the way I showed mercy upon you and we're told that in anger the master threw that servant into the jail until he could repay all of the debt and I've thought a lot about that story over the years and I believe that that jail is a very real place because Jesus was talking about unforgiveness and he was talking about refusing to extend forgiveness when we ourselves have been forgiven so powerfully so completely and then turning around when someone offends us and refusing to it to extend the same now obviously that's greatly grieving to the Holy Spirit but what does it do to you you put yourself into a self-imposed jail make no mistake about it you are in prison when you refuse to forgive and you will not get out until you come to terms with that at the foot of the cross and recognize with the amazing forgiveness God gave you you are to forgive others let me show you this really really cool quote I found because you know I love quotes goes like this the moment a man wrongs me I must forgive him only then will my soul be free if I hold the wrong against him I sin and jeopardize my own forgiveness with God whether the man repents and asked for my forgiveness or not makes no difference I have forgiven him now he must deal with God over the wrong is done but that's between him and God whether he reconciles with God or not is irrelevant to this one truth I must forgive the man I love that quote I think it's very well spoken because it it simply puts the responsibility it takes it out of the realm of what has he done and just it's my heart with God and my own walk with God my relationship with God and just how healthy do I want that relationship to be and how free do I want to be in my own life and how healthy spiritually emotionally even physically do I want to be hey you can sit and eat all the organic food that you can possibly consume all your life and be sick because of unforgiveness bitterness and anger we talked so much about living a healthy lifestyle and we completely ignore the spiritual emotional aspect of our lives before we close here today can I just add one more thought about the issue of forgiveness and I think this is an important one and I'm just gonna put it like this forgiveness is not the absence of wisdom and let me explain what I mean by that I want you to imagine for a moment we take that parable that Jesus gave us that I've told you about just a moment ago and let's imagine for a moment that after this servant was forgiven for his millions and millions of dollars of debt that he returned a few months later to ask the master for another loan now we're not applying this in my story where the master isn't a picture of God and the servant isn't a picture of you it's just he's a master and he's a servant let's just talk people for a minute if the man is a pretty good businessman he's probably not going to just say yeah sure come on in let's write up a contract after forgiving this guy millions and millions of dollars why it's just not wise it's just not wise and the reason I bring up that example is because I believe that there are times in our lives when we forgive people because we're commanded to forgive people and it's a good idea to forgive people because we ourselves are free when we forgive people but then afterward we when we recognize there's no change in the individual there's there's no repentance there's no anything but that's that's you know that's not why we forgave them but we see it and we understand that wisdom would tell us this is probably not a good relationship to reconnect with you know what I mean because there hasn't been any change and so on and so forth and so I don't see any real future here and so I'm gonna forgive this person but we're not going to move on with any kind of a relationship because the toxicity level here is just off the charts and so I'm saying to this individual and verbally or not we're done now I'm not mad and I'm not withholding forgiveness in fact I can even genuinely say I love this person and by the way people ask me all the time how do I know when I've really forgiven somebody well I'll tell you something when you pray for that person and genuinely pray God's blessing over their life and mean it God has done a work in your heart and you you're walking and real genuine forgiveness and that's the way we're supposed to treat our enemies by the way people that hurt us we're supposed to pray for him right and that doesn't mean God kill them okay that's not the kind of prayer we're talking about we're talking about praying blessing into their life and that's hard to do you know at first when you when somebody's really hurt you badly and you know that you're called to forgive and pray for them you for a while you're praying blessing through clenched teeth and I get that but there comes a time over time as you continue to pour out your heart before the Lord pray the blessing of God upon in that individual that you know suddenly you realize one day I'm delighted to do this I want you to I got I really want you to bless this person you've you've arrived at the place of forgiveness praise God and don't stop praying until you get there because you want to be free okay but even though you can say to yourself I love this person and I'm not mad and I truly have forgiven and I can pray for them with genuinely for God's blessing upon their life but but but I realize moving on with this relationship just isn't productive I want you to know that that's okay and the reason I share this is because I think a lot of Christians struggle because wisdom tells them this person is just going to keep hurting me and my family but the Word of God tells them they need to forgive and they think they're one in the same they think forgiveness equates with the idea of embracing this person back into their life wholeheartedly and sometimes people whom we've forgiven will actually say that to us when we resist the attempt to reconnect they'll say wait I thought you forgave me and what we do is we cave yeah you're right come on and we open the door of our lives when wisdom would tell us that's not a smart move listen you can you can be obedient to God and forgive and still keep a distance just because it's wisdom wisdom and forgiveness you know work together in those sorts of situations so know that you can still forgive completely you
