1. Peter 4:8 And above all things have fervent love
for one another, for "love will cover a multitude of sins."
We should forgive and forget. Just like a record that
has got stuck, we have heard this so often, and it takes time before it
enters like an impenetrable thick fog into our minds. Is it possible for
someone to really do this? Is it really possible that we simply forget
the pain which someone has caused us in our lives?
I
believe that we can. I have found the answer to this well-known place
in the scriptures. How can the sin in the life of a person disappear when
we are continually looking at it? How can we get rid of our own pain?
It works through the supernatural power of love. If we decide everyday
to have a constant love towards other people around us (we can only do
this if we are full of the Holy Ghost, for love is a fruit of the spirit),
the Lord will give us eyes to view them with His perfect love. Sin has
to yield under His penetrating look and with the love of Jesus you all
at once see your neighbour with God's eyes. What power the Lord has given
us. Let us use it. kc
