No Apology?

"Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all transgressions." -Proverbs 10:12 (NASB)
Certain lessons in life can be hard to learn.  We may understand certain things, but truly taking them to heart and practicing them can be difficult.  One lesson that can be challenging is forgiving and moving on, especially when the other person involved doesn't seem to be sorry.  Author Robert Brault is quoted as saying, "Life becomes easier when you learn to accept an apology you never got."

​When we are dealing with other people, there are certainly times when we are faced with disagreements, hurt feelings, and maybe even worse.  We can choose to hold on to these things or we can choose to move on.  We cannot improve our situation by holding on to hatred, which keeps things stirred up.  We can improve our situation by offering love to others.  Jesus demonstrated the power of love when He died for all of our sin.  We can ask God for help as we try to live our lives like Jesus with love covering transgressions, even if we haven't gotten the apology we think we deserve!

​Allow God's love to overcome transgressions even if you haven't gotten an apology!

Prayer:
​Dear God-
​Please forgive me for all of my sin.  Help me to live more like Jesus.  Thank You for His loving sacrifice.  Help me to show Your love to others.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
