Keeping Erasers Handy
Learning how love forgives without keeping score.
Have you ever caught yourself replaying old hurts in your mind—like stirring a simmering pot that only gets hotter each time? That natural tendency to keep score is exactly what Paul warns against in 1 Corinthians 13. In this episode, Stephen Davey explains the most difficult assignment in Paul’s description of love: refusing to take into account a wrong suffered. True love doesn’t tally offenses, keep ledgers, or engrave hurts in stone. Instead, it reaches for the eraser of forgiveness again and again. You’ll discover why agape love can’t survive without grace, why forgiveness is not forgetting but choosing to leave the offense behind, and why refusing to forgive chains you to your past. Through biblical teaching and vivid illustrations—from Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant to the story of Joseph naming his son Manasseh—you’ll see how love really can cover a multitude of sins. Learn how to stop stirring the pot, clear the ledger, and experience the freedom of love that erases.
