“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy,
it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others,
it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.”
I Corinthians 13:4-5
I am very rushed for time this morning. I have a lot to do today. This verse speaks to me in a way that I cannot explain or “put on paper” but it speaks to me. So often, this passage is associated with weddings and married love…but I believe it is also true for love of friends, family AND spouses. Sometimes, I keep score and I need to let it go….see this post.
Lord, slowly…I think I am getting it, but I am certainly a work in progress. Please help me to let go and NOT keep score. Help me to forget the ways that I have been hurt and to forgive and move on…it is the only way to show real, true love.
Have a wonderful weekend…
An encouraging post indeed, Mary! One that we all need to be reminded of from time to time.
Great reminder for all of us today, Mary. Especially when we consider that God does not keep score…He give grace freely and His mercies are new everyday!
Praying that you accomplish all that you have to do today!

short post; but so to the point!
I too have a few score sheets that I need to destroy. Thanks for sharing your heart today. Hope your weekend is restful.
This was read at my wedding but one passage that I try to live by daily. I often fail. But, I keep trying!
This is a beautiful Bible passage, Mary. I still catch myself keeping score at times too but I've have definitely gotten much better at letting go.
I'm sure it would be nice to become a saint overnight but life rarely works that way, unfortunately (lol).
Your post "The God of all comfort…again" was wonderful 🙂
