“Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.” Prov10.12 ESV
The instant replay maybe a good innovation for the world of sports but it can wreck havoc in relationships. When we replay to our mind the offenses and shortcomings of others we fuel the fires of strife until bitterness is all that is left in the relationship. We must learn the skill of overlooking injury, of letting it pass by like an uncaught ball or covering it from our sight. It is not so much pretending that someone has not hurt you, as it is consciously choosing to ignore it, to refuse to replay it even a second time again to our mind and bringing instead the best interest of the person into the forefront of our thoughts. Love is deliberate in it choices to love. Love deliberately refuses the instant replay and chooses instead to get on with the game. 7/28/2008 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
