Stop Keeping Score by Joyce Meyer If someone has hurt you, dont spend the next ten years of your life hurting yourself by hanging on to that offense. Most likely, the other person isnt even thinking about you, while you dwell on the incident for years. That only hurts one person, you. When we walk in unforgiveness, we try to keep score, viewing ourselves as better than the other person. Back in the early days of our marriage, when Dave and I were fussing and fuming at each other, I would bring up stuff that happened years before and Dave would say, Where do you keep all that stuff? Well, I had a place, and it was all in there eating at me. And every new thing Dave did wrong would get added to this list, and it kept growing until it became a bitter giant in my heart. When we walk in Gods love, we find freedom by keeping no account of wrongs done to us. If youre hurting from the pain of unforgiveness today, ask God to help you stop keeping score. You can let go of your bitterness today. Prayer Starter: God, I dont want to keep score anymore and let my unforgiveness hurt me. I release it to You and ask You to help me walk in Your love, which keeps no account of the evil done to it. Scripture: Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; (1 Corinthians 13:4-5 ESV)
