It is often necessary to overlook old mistakes when seeking reconciliation with others.
“He who covers over an offense promotes love, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.” Proverbs 17:9.
Although it may be difficult, love sometimes simply keeps its mouth shut. True forgiveness often comes more easily through silence. Listening with your heart will enable you to hear and to see another through the eyes of Christ.
It is much easier to work things out in the present if we have forgiven the sins of the past.
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9.
May we do for others what Christ is willing to do for us..
Have a blessed day!
In Christian love,
