God's Love Keeps No Record of Wrongs

God’s Love Keeps No Record of the Past!

I asked a brother if he would please forgive me.
I said; “I’m sorry!”  But he wouldn’t believe me.

Something happened, and he was “offended.”
He didn’t want our friendship to be amended.

I tried to share with him 1 Corinthians chapter 13.
He was upset, and scripture didn’t “mean a thing

You see, this kind of action happens to many times.
It happens a lot in church.  Just “read between the lines.”

God’s word speaks of his love, and many read it!
But they seldom apply his word, when they need it!

When it comes to God’s love, it seems quite “convenient.”
To say we really love others, but actually don’t mean it!

Do we throw out God’s word, when someone gets us upset?
Is it Christ’ example of love, 
that we fervently neglect?

I think it’s time we all come to Jesus for his love divine.
And ask for his powerful love 
to daily cleanse our mind!

It’s only God’s love that can change us 
and make our heart pure!
It’s only his love that make our relationships secure!

Shall we walk in his love?  
The best way we can?
Let’s be his shining light!
 Through the darkness in the land!
