Or a husband might say that about his wife or you might be thinking that about some family member, a father, a mother, a stepparent, or whomever. It's so easy to be deceived in relationships. True, your marriage and family may not be a beautiful garden right now, but it can be. If your spouse seems to be a vulture, not a hummingbird, your own changes, your own personality improvements, your blooming with Christian characteristics can start to change your spouse. That can happen in other relationships, too.
Honey is more attractive than vinegar.
The more your attractive Christian qualities come into full bloom, the more change can happen in your marriage, family, friendships and work relationships. At the root of this potential change is one central fact. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. All the attractive characteristics of Christian living that I've shared with you become possible because of one essential fact. This essential fact is that the Father in heaven has forgiven you.
