Person: I want nothing to do with those people for [insert reason]
God: Then I want nothing to do with you (Matthew 7:2)
Our relations to others must overcome the concepts of justice and feelings of being wronged. We must take our cross, deny our own selves and our feelings, and treat those who wronged us just as God treated us when we yet were sinners. If we show others grace and mercy, we can expect to receive it from God. It we fail to show grace and mercy, we can not in turn ask and expect it of God, no matter the situation, because we did more to God than what anyone could ever do to us.
