1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NKJV) 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love thinks no evil.
Love doesn’t think evil thoughts. It prefers to look at the better side of people, instead of focusing on the bad.
It keeps no record of wrongs done. It chooses to forgive and move on, leaving the mistakes and bad choices of others in the past, where they belong.
Love purposely chooses to let go of the hurts that come at the hands of others, instead of clinging to them and letting them bring pain and destruction.
Love will not engage in slanderous talk about others, because love refuses to speak words with ill (evil) intent.
Most of us can use this lesson in our own lives. Remembering this can help prevent us from wasting our time gossiping, spreading rumors and other similar talk.
It can also keep us from holding grudges and being bitter toward others.
Our lives will be greatly enhanced if we all learn this one and put it into practice!
