Love Keeps No Record of Wrongs

I Corinthians 13:5 is stocked full of what love is not. In some way understanding what love is not, helps to shine light on what love is. In understanding what we're not suppose to do, it leads us to what we should do. It's a lot like training a child. Mostly you start with the "no's." "No," you don't do that. "No," you can't do that. Somehow, through the no's we learn our way.

I think a lot of us keep list: List of "To Do's"; grocery list; etc. But, I think a lot more of us keep list of how we've been done wrong. We can tick off quickly how you've failed us, how you were in error. Our error list is somehow vaguely forgotten, misplaced.

We have to train ourselves, to number one, forget to make the list. Once we quit making the list, we'll quit referring to it. And once we do that, we'll be a lot happier, and as a serendipity, so will they.
