It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.1 Corinthians 13:5(NIV) Bible Gateway
You say you love someone be it a spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend, child, parents, friends, neighbor but do you keep a record of wrong they did to you in the past? If you do that is unfair.
Do you think your Heavenly Father would do that to you? The answer is a resounding no. Also do you have a hard time letting go of things done to you thus building up resentment? Dwelling on things in the past is a dead end leading to nowhere good.
In Isaiah 43:18-19 it reads “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” You have to get your mind focused once again on above not saying things aren’t fair, that wasn’t right, or that hurt me. Move on my friends. What do you have to prove except maybe dwelling makes you bitter and angry. Not a cool thing for a brother and sister in Christ.
PRAYER:The road is long that leads to life and scripture says few find it. Father keep me on the road of kindness, truthfulness, repentance, and yes love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Excellent message. Something I had to really learn to do, forget the past and live and love for the present. Peace and blessings to you and yours.
