“(Love) does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, not easily angered, keeps no record of wrongs.”
1 Corinthians 13:5 

“Let every word you speak be drenched with grace and tempered with truth and clarity.”
Colossians 4:6

If you've been to a few weddings in your lifetime, there is a good chance you've heard 1 Corinthians chapter 13. Perhaps the pastor read it as part of the ceremony or maybe one of the bridesmaids. This particular verse is part of a longer passage written by Paul which describes what love is and what love looks like in everyday life. Among the aspects listed, it is described as the love that keeps no record of wrongs, yet this recording of wrongs happens within marriage all the time, even amongst friends, siblings, and co-workers. Really, when it comes to anyone we do life with, we constantly keep a record of wrongs. We may not write down all of the harsh words, perceived slights, or lack of appreciation, but we remember them in some part of our minds. And worse, it is often those we love the most and closest to us who receive the brunt when we finally lash out in frustration and bring up those past wrongs. Often these memories of offense come back to the surface when we are most tired, frustrated, or anxious and when our filter of better judgment is at its weakest.

We should be grateful that God doesn't treat us in the way we often treat each other. God knows all and sees all, yet he offers forgiveness and complete cleansing of our mistakes, our sins, and every wrong thing we have ever done or even thought. Psalm 103 tells us that our sins are cast as far as the East is from the West. In all of this, it is important to remember that we are called to look to Jesus as an example of how we are to live. Jesus, while hanging on the cross, implored his heavenly father to forgive those who had mistreated him, because those offenders didn't really know what they were doing. Jesus didn't hold the wrongs of others against them, and he didn't hold onto offense because of what they had said about him or done to him. In the same way, we should seek to love the way that Jesus loved, a kind of love that keeps no record of wrongs.
