TRUTH: LOVE allows hurts and wrongs to be set aside

TRUTH: LOVE allows hurts and wrongs to be set aside

A LOVING stance…

1. Understands that our own wrongs won’t be counted
Matthew 18:27 :: And out of pity for him, the master of that servant released him and forgave him the debt.

2. Sets aside the hurts/wrongs from others
Matthew 18:30 :: He refused and went and put him in prison until he should pay the debt.

3. Remembers the reward/consequence
Matthew 18:35 :: So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.”

What does this mean for me?
1. My unwillingness to set aside hurts and wrongs indicate a lack of Trust in God
2. My insistence to seek vengeance will hinder my hope for Heaven
