Dr. Beckwith’s Friday Inspiration For September 22nd

Happy Friday LSSSC Team Members,

As we end another week, I want to share with you a message about forgiveness and the importance of not holding grudges. In our journey towards success, this is a theme that resonates deeply with me, and I believe it is crucial for us as a team.

Forgiveness is a concept that transcends time and culture, and it’s beautifully illustrated in the Bible. In Matthew 6:14-15, it is written: “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” These words remind us that forgiveness is not only a moral act but also a path to our own spiritual and emotional well-being.

Holding grudges can be incredibly unproductive, both personally and professionally. When we harbor resentment and anger towards others, it hinders our ability to collaborate, communicate, and work effectively as a team. It saps our energy and diverts our focus away from our goals. By holding onto past grievances, we carry unnecessary burdens that weigh us down.

Let’s consider the words of Colossians 3:13: “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” This verse highlights not only the importance of forgiveness but also the inspiration we can draw from our faith to let go of grudges.

As we move forward, I want to encourage each of you to reflect on these teachings. Let us strive to be a team that exemplifies forgiveness, understanding, and compassion. By doing so, we not only create a more harmonious work environment but also free ourselves to focus on what truly matters—our shared mission and the impact we can make together.

Remember, forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves. Let go of grudges, embrace forgiveness, and let our collective spirit soar to new heights.

Wishing you all a blessed and productive Friday.
