[No. 16] Love Is Holding No Record of Wrongs
![[No. 16] Love Is Holding No Record of Wrongs](https://d2xsxph8kpxj0f.cloudfront.net/310519663496488581/gaWtNDcvzJZ7chhrf2FsKy/wp-images/2017/11/green-dress-12-1.jpg)
What is love? Love is holding no record of wrongs.
It’s not “I forgive you” but still giving the cold shoulder.
No matter how badly you want to give them that chilly, chilly shoulder.
It’s not “water under the bridge” but still constructing a wall to distance yourself.
You know what kind of wall I’m talking about.
One of those Great Wall of China walls we’re so good at building.
It’s not “let bygones be bygones” but bringing it back up in a current argument and
it’s not “forgive, but don’t forget” or “you owe me.”
Do you get what I’m saying?
Love keeps NO record of wrongs.
If it were easy, we’d allll do it.
And so much of the problem lies with a severe lack of communication.
We don’t get to hold grudges for something we never conveyed (!!!).
Just look at our world’s growing number of breakups, separations, & divorces
to see how many records of wrong are tearing relationships apart.
My challenge to you: Search your heart for any grudges you hold.
Write those down.
Either talk to the person, or drop it like it’s hot!
Cheers,

Hey — I wrote a book about all of this.
Living Open-Handed is the devotional I wrote during a season when I really needed to hear these words myself. If you're in a place where you need to be encouraged by scripture and softened by grace, it might be for you too.
