Love keeps No Record of wrongs!

[GayatfootofCross]

"   One of the most beautiful majestic words ever written, were from Paul:
"Love keeps no record of wrong doing"

Yet Christianity strangely forgets these words when grappling with Salvation and Judgement.
We forget these words were Not from a man who was the epitome of righteousness;
Rather a man who embarked on a murderous quest to rid the world of Christians.
A man, with whom Jesus literally intervened and asked "why are you persecuting me?"

Ironically, we could ask many Christians the same question today.
Those who "have discovered the error of their ways" and then enthusiastically pick up the banner of the Law and condemnation. Then proceed to rid the world of sin, or so they think.
However Paul realized something different than so many Christians.
He discovered who God really was. God was love and Grace.

You see God doesn't just extend love, or act in Love, He Is Love.
God doesn't just extend Grace or act graciously, He Is Grace.
Love has never kept a single record of wrong doing, but the Law does!
Those who believe in the God of Law struggle with forgiveness and mercy.
Because the Law demands retribution as justice. It demands payment for wrong doing.

Love, on the other hand, desires restoration and completeness.
Love's agenda is to see you restored to the image of your loving Father.
This is your true identity.
Love is not interested in your past or your mistakes.
It keeps no record of wrong doing, therefore doesn't remember your failures and transgressions.

When your body reaches it's end, the corruptible has put on incorruptibility, you are changed in the twinkling of an eye.
Your soul and spirit are free of their hindrances.
Love has won, and your spirit reunited with it's giver.
Love keeps no record of wrong doing  ." ..A friend wrote this

"As we look back at His life we see that He was patient and kind. He was not jealous and did not
boast. He was not arrogant or rude, did not insist in His own way and was not easily offended. Jesus
kept no record of wrongs. He did not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoiced in the truth. He bore all
things, believed all things, hoped all things and endured all things – even a death on the cross, the
most painful and humiliating death. His love never, ever ended." http://godisnotakiller.com/

This has changed my picture of God so much that I breath easier and it has quieted my soul.

And on my best days(when the focus is on What HE is like ^ ..and both best and worst are covered) ..it naturally includes all others.

GOD help me!
