"[love] keeps no record of wrongs"
the concept is a difficult one for me to practice.
it's definitely a challenge to forget certain wrongs that have been done to me, especially when I have a pretty decent capacity for long term memory.
small things or seemingly big things, it doesn't matter--they all fall under the same category of transgression.
but lately, especially after crossway's series on love, I've been reminded that to truly love the brothers and sisters that God has surrounded me with, I must forgive and, more importantly, just forget about all these "injustices."
there just isn't any point in having a separate compartment in the brain to collect all these memories.
I think we all have different definitions of how it would look like to live life through rose colored glasses.
for me, it would be to live life without constantly reminding myself of the insignificant memories of the past.
time to make the ideal a reality.
my dad sent me this in the morning:
"We are all full of weakness and errors; let us all mutually pardon each other our follies: it is the first law of nature."
-Voltaire
true that.
