1Corinthians 13:5 (Love)“…takes no account of evil”
- Have you ever stewed over something someone did or said to you?
- Have you ever wondered if someone who did something nice for you had a bad motive behind their actions?
- Have you ever kept score, thinking about how many times someone hurt you?
… Me too, and I am ashamed to admit it.
How far can I make the story “living in Las Vegas, I am more jaded than I should be” spread? I mean, really – maybe that’s my excuse for keeping a hard heart?
I want to cultivate a heart of love within myself that is so governed and influenced by the love of God that I can’t think of evil in others unless it slaps me in the face.
Heavenly Father,
Clean my heart and help me sweep unfounded suspicious thoughts away.
Help me be like You in forgetting the wrongs done to me by others.
Teach me to live “Father forgive them, they don’t know what they are doing”
as Jesus said on the cross when He was dying for the sins of the world.
This really hit home with me….Thank you Cee I needed to hear this one…I have been having a self pity party lately..(((HUGS)))Lisa
I understand, Lisa. This was an especially hard lesson for me. The whole Love Exploration this month has been hard. I am not as full of love as I once thought… Just know God is bigger than our ‘ego’ and He will help us learn to love with HIS heart! HuG
Great series, Cee. And you…jaded? Hardened? Nah! You’re way too sweet for that.
Lori – I have heart sins that take away the sweetness, I think….
