Love keeps no record of wrong, but unforgiveness does…
On day 21 of 75 days in Faith, we will reflect on the power of love, and God’s unconditional love that transforms, and heals.
It’s easy to love when it’s convenient, but true love, the kind that Jesus showed us, goes beyond our circumstances, and emotions and allows us to forgive freely.
As we meditate on His Word, let us commit to loving others with the same depth of love God has shown us, trusting that His love is the greatest gift we can give.
Below is a declaration, along with a few scriptures about love and forgiveness!

It’s not always easy, but God’s word even commands us to bless those that curse us, and to love those who despitefully use us; and with God’s help I will do so! – Matthew 5:44-45)
As Jesus hung on the cross, He asked God to forgive the people who were killing Him, for they knew not what they were doing. And that’s (unconditional love), pure Agape love!
