Corinthians Series {9} Love Keeps No Records of Wrong

In case you missed the start of this series, check out the kick off of breaking down this popular wedding ceremony reading: 1 Corinthians 13:4-8.

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. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

Part Nine looks at

What does it mean to not keep a record of wrongs? You might also label this as holding a grudge. A grudge is defined by dictionary.com as this:

1. to resent the good fortune of (another); begrudge.

2. to feel dissatisfaction or ill will.

How might we see this in our relationship and marriage?
- "Well remember last week when you made me watch 6 hours of football? You owe me."

- "You did this and you did this so don't even think about asking me to do that"

- "Why would I make you lasagna tonight when you forgot to bring me sonic tots on your way home yesterday?"

I actually remember watching an episode of a show where the spouse kept track of everything his wife did wrong and when she found out about it, well you can imagine it didn't go over well. It would make you feel like what would be the point of saying, "I'm sorry" if your wrongs still count against you? We must strive to love like Jesus and I guarantee he isn't keeping a record of our wrongs. He loves us unconditionally. Heck, he even died for our wrongs! So why should we do that with our spouse?
