Journey Day 254

The past few days I haven't been feeling very loving. That's not to say that I haven't loved some people, in fact I've loved a lot of people, but I have certainly thought some not so nice thoughts towards some people in the past 3 days. I was reading Proverbs 10 this morning, which talks about the acts  of the righteous and the wicked, and verse 12 says, "Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs." The last part really got me.... "love covers over all wrongs." DANG IT! I have certainly not been doing that. I've been holding onto my hurt and anger, instead of just letting it go and loving them no matter what might happen. I had to go reread the love Chapter (1 Corinthians 13). "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." If I really love my friends like I say I do, then I need to let go of my hurt, let go of my anger and delete the "record of wrong" my brain. I want so badly to love like Jesus loves... and that means to love unconditionally always. I'm still working on that, but I feel like this train of thought is a good start! : )
