Monday... This is a profitable way to start a new week. Too many times we are offended and we carry it over to a new day or a new week. But the writer of Proverbs 17:9 (AMP) gives some very good advice. He says, "He who covers and forgives an offence seeks love, but he who repeats or gossips about a matter separates intimate friends." So did something happen over the weekend or even last week that you are still carrying around with you? There is a choice in there that can really make a difference. The choice could either be love or sympathy. I had felt convicted yesterday over something that I said, an attitude that I had and I felt prompted to ask for forgiveness in how I handled the offense so I asked for forgiveness. Now they had the right to be hurt by me but they chose to forgive me. Our pride too many times gets in the way of our love, doesn't it? Now the other person had a choice. They deserved to be hurt by what I said, but they forgave me, they didn't carry...
A positive reflection for a new day...
