Question

How far would you go for love?

Are you able to turn the other cheek when someone you love offends you or purposefully hurts you. Or simply cares more about themselves then you. Are you able to decided to let it go forgive and forget?
I was faced with this decision yesterday and I didn't know what to do. I wanted to let them know they had hurt me, but my brothers asked me this question...."what will it accomplish, why do you want to tell them?" It made me think. I wanted them to hurt as much as they had hurt me. I wanted them to know the consequences of their thoughtlessness. I wanted to make myself feel better. But how was that any different then what they had done to me? It wasn't, it isn't. If I love this person then I will put them before myself, before my feelings, before my need to feel that justice has been served. I will prove my love for Christ and my love for them by choosing to let it go and move on.
I wouldn't have seen this at all if it weren't for my brothers questions. You see he choose to love me above himself, so that I could do the same. He is amazing. I think I will go tell him that.
Hope you all have a blessed day.
