Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil. 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 (KJV)
Love is a decision. The love of GOD has been shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit but we must make a conscious decision to walk in it. GOD's love works in forgiveness with others and does not let past hurts and disappointments rule and reign.
When you get offended and you let it linger, you will soon be off and ended. Hanging on to the pain just creates a root of bitterness that will eventually turn you so sour. Abraham allowed Lot to take whatever he wanted, he gave material things to get peace and at the end of the day, he got back everything because his faith worked by love. Get that bitterness out of you today, so it doesn't hinder the fullness GOD has ordained for you.
I declare that I am a love being. I walk according to the Spirit therefore the life of GOD is expressed through me daily. I do not allow any root of bitterness in me; I walk in love at all times with all men, in Jesus Name.
Blessings...
