Give the Extra Effort

What type of attitudes should we have when working through problems? In yesterday’s post, the lesson was about how to respond to problems and those against us. I wrote about mercy and how Jesus forgave even those who crucified Him.

Although, only God can forgive sin, we can take lessons about mercy and apply them in our own life. There are situations when we need to forgive. Maybe a relationship has gone bad, a co-worker has done us wrong, or a customer has been unreasonable. In these situations, it might help to receive inspiration from what Jesus said in Luke 23:34, “Father, forgive them for they don’t know what they are doing”.

We should always go the extra mile or give the extra effort in our relationships. We should be honest and trust in God to rescue if we continue to work, pray, think, and believe while being patient. He will honor our patience if we choose His way to joy and hope.

My study in college was in business management and I’ve always had a passion for ideas on how a company can inspire good attitudes in their employees so it leads to excellent customer service. There’s a video I came across that explains the small difference between hot water and boiling water that makes all the difference. Here’s the video: The One Extra Degree Makes All The Difference.
