Recently, I have been glancing at many write-ups about neglecting, forsaking, and moving away from those who hurt us; we repost these articles on our statuses like perfect beings who have not provoked God and man. Some of us preach more hatred than love and unforgiveness than mercy. Then I thought of this; if God decided to abandon us just because of a mistake, without sending someone to correct us, many of us will not be alive to tell the story of God’s mercies.
We tend to write about people’s mistakes more than their good deeds and hold unto those mistakes as their true character. I know to be http://consistent in love is challenging when our feeling is being hurt, or when we are neglected by someone we love. But God is saying that love is the ultimate no matter what we are confronted with. Jesus pleaded with His Father to forgive those who nailed Him to the cross. He exhibited love after He was bruised, chastised, and wounded. Can we do that?
Another question is: after walking away from those who hurt us, what are our thoughts towards them?
Sometimes we pray that they should regret or suffer their deeds. God never wants us to regret but to repent http://2 peter. 3:9

⁹ The Lord does not delay [as though He were unable to act] and is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is [extraordinarily] patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. (2 Peter. 3:9).

I believe none of us reading this article will like anyone to hold onto our mistakes.
God is love and you cannot embrace love outside Him neither can you seek the best for others without Him because He is the originator of love (1John 4:7).https://artpreachiate.com/2021/04/06/quotes-on-love-series-1/
