Looking past differences can be liberating to the spirit. It may be able to save marriages, restore broken relationships, build bridges where only division was before.
But it can even be healthy! One of the weights that can keep us from achieving our potential health is negative thoughts and feelings. And the truth be told, much of our negative thoughts have to do with those closest to us.
I just heard someone say that to have a healthy heart you must have a loving and forgiving heart. This was not a preacher, but a medical doctor. He said that he never new a person with a healthy heart who was hateful or of an angry nature.
