Love...it keeps no record of wrongs.
1 Corinthians 13:5 NIV
Been thinking about these words not in relation to others, but how they sit with me.
I'm the one keeping a record of my wrongs.
I'm the one that allows those things to pop into my brain and I respond in ways that really are not helpful for me or those around me...and that becomes a pattern... And then a habit.
An habitual way of thinking based on my own record keeping.
The place where my wrongs were dealt expunged was the cross.
Jesus paid the penalty, so, I can let those things go. 
That was Love in action.
It can take a bit of reflection to see my own faulty thinking pattern and let the Spirit renew.
Maybe you're like me, and you're the only one keeping that record of wrongs alive. 
Love in action in us can be the erasing of those faulty habits of thinking and responding based on our own record keeping.

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
