I Corinthians 13:5 It(love) is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love keeps no record of wrongs for love is too busy healing and mending. Wrongs are not important to love because love is always consumed with making things right as time moves forward. In love, there is no time for keeping records of past mistakes. Love has no memory of wrongs for love is making plans and building for the future. Love is too creative to be concerned with what happened yesterday. Love focuses on the expression of progress in the name and image of God. A record of wrongs stops love so love is not concerned about the past. Love is always full of hope, grandeur, and glory as it forever moves into the future while overfilling the present...
when i read this little bit of scripture, i was overwhelmed with the thought that, love (remember, God is Love) doesn't dwell on what was, love is fixated on what will be. Love never fails...and if we don't have love, if we are unable or unwilling to forgive and let go and be unselfish then we cannot say we're with God. Because if you do not have love, you have nothing.
The devil is so good at keeping us from letting the past go. His favorite trick to play on us is bitterness and un-forgiveness...to keep you tied down to what was and keep you in the pit of what you think you'll never get to or what you can let go of. But! We serve a God of new beginnings. a God of new creation in Him and a God of redemption. God wants us to press forward. Remember that when we are forgiven our sin's are as far as the east is from the west?? (psalm 103:12)
