We must live by the Holy Spirit. Even if someone hurts your feelings, please forgive them with a serving heart. When you consider others better than yourselves, you can serve them.<\/p>\n<p>  <cite><a href=\"\/en\/word\/practices-unity\/\">From Mother\u2019s Words, \u201cA Faith That Practices Unity\u201d<\/a><\/cite>\n <\/div>\n<div class=\"item\">\n<h2 id=\"when-we-forgive-our-brothers-and-sisters-god-in-turn-forgives-us-and-guides-us-to-heaven\">\u201cWhen we forgive our brothers and sisters, God, in turn, forgives us and guides us to heaven.\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>True love involves forgiveness. When we forgive our brothers and sisters, God, in turn, forgives us and guides us to heaven (Mt 6:14\u201315). The Bible assures us that God will not judge us but will generously bless us like a good measure pressed down, shaken together, and running over, if we refrain from passing judgment on others (Lk 6:37\u201338). Parents reward their children when they please them. Therefore, to receive God\u2019s bountiful blessings, we must strive to be good children.<\/p>\n<p>  <cite><a href=\"\/en\/word\/good-and-bad\/\">From Mother\u2019s Words, \u201cGood Things and Bad Things\u201d<\/a><\/cite>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"item\">\n<h2 id=\"even-when-angry-one-should-have-patience-and-endure-thinking-first-will-heavenly-father-find-my-demeanor-pleasing-or-worrisome\">\u201cEven when angry, one should have patience and endure, thinking first, \u2018Will Heavenly Father find my demeanor pleasing or worrisome?\u2019 \u201d<\/h2>\n<p>God said, \u201cIf you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you\u201d (Mt 6:14). Since God said that one must be born again to see heaven, in order to go to heaven, we must give up earthly desires and follow the Holy Spirit, transforming from a disposition of discord into that of harmony and unity.<\/p>\n<p>Even when angry, one should have patience and endure, thinking first, \u2018Will Heavenly Father find my demeanor pleasing or worrisome?\u2019 To transform us from sinful beings into the beautiful image of God, He came to this earth. When we embrace the sacrificial heart of Christ, who, while being God, took on the form of a servant and became like a human, we can be united and enter heaven.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bible\"><p>\n   \u201cDo nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. . . . have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature[a] God, . . . rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. . . . he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death\u2014even death on a cross! . . . it is God who works in you . . .
