Love keeps no records of wrong.
I heard something today and it really hit the nail on the head.It seemed to be speaking to me very directly.It taught me a lesson.
In 1986,there was a strike by the municipal workers iin Philiadelphia, and rubbish in the city piled up.The city has very little resources and the rubbish became a crisis.No one else wanted to take Philadelphia's trash.
The owners of a huge freighter called the Pelicano, offered to take the rubbish and transport it elsewhere.The rubbish was incenerated and dumped into the ship.The only problem was that no one wanted to let the ship into its port,from Sri lanka to Indonesia to Hondorous.
A perfectly good ship became the worlds most unwanted ship because it was full of somebody elses trash.
Life has a way of unloading its rubbish onto our decks.We can choose to allow all the hurt,pain,jealousy and hatred be unloaded onto our decks.Or can prevent it from happening.Of course there are times when it is inevitable.But the important thing is how we deal with the trash.By letting the trash sit and allowing it to fester,it just makes things worse.It makes us bitter and full of hatred.It causes us to have a rotten attitude to life where all the comes out from our mouth is nothing but complaints.Just as no port wanted the ship full of rubbish,no one would want to hang around with you if you allow everything to fester.Deal with it,learn to forgive,learn to love because love keeps no record of wrong.
Its hard to love our enemies.Its a constant struggle for me to have to learn how to love the people i hate.Today sitting there listening to this hit me hard.A voice was telling me "thats you!you are that ship".It was so blatant and so explicit i could not have possibly have missed the point.I need to learn how to forgive, to let go and to love.because not only does it make life so much better,it helps me be a better person.Easier said then done but something we can all try nonetheless.
