DAILY?READINGS: 1 Chronicles 8-9; Ezekiel 11; John 3:22-36
Love…thinks no evil. 1 Corinthians 13:4-5
Another translation of this verse expresses the sentiment “Love… keeps no record of wrongs” (NIV). When hurt unjustly, we naturally suffer and keep a mental record of the person or persons who have hurt us. Maybe the hurt can never be forgotten but in praying for the offender the Lord will give you a concern for them, rather than hate. Bitterness and revenge should not be in the believer’s vocabulary. —Brian Russell
Forgive them O My Father,
They know not what they do.
The Saviour spoke in anguish,
As sharp iron nails went through.
—C. C. Alexander
