Speaker 1: be filled with his word. We will be meditating on

27
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: Proverbs chapter seventeen, verse nine from the King James version.

28
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: He that covereth a transgression seeketh love, but he that

29
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: repeateth the matter separateth. Friends, let your worship rise up

30
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: to God. God. I praise you because your love never

31
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: fails and it covers all of my transgressions. I adore

32
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: you because you are good, you are kind, and your

33
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: mercies endure forever. I praise you for your endless grace.

34
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: I worship you because you are great. There's no one

35
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: else like you. Being perfect is impossible. No one can

36
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: be the perfect friend, the perfect partner, the perfect person.

37
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: As we ourselves cannot be perfect, we cannot expect perfection

38
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: from others. Even the people who are closest to you

39
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: will sometimes hurt you. The Bible teaches us that all

40
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

41
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: I want you to take a couple of minutes and

42
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: think of relationships. You're struggling with, relationships that need to

43
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: be restored and repaired. Now, pray to God and confess

44
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: to him those areas of weakness. Share with the Holy

45
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 1: Spirit your sorrow and suffering. Confess to God your imperfections.

46
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: God is not expecting perfection from you, just for you

47
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: to try your best. Open yourself to God's love and

48
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: pour out all that is weighing heavy on your heart.

49
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: Now consider all the times God's love covered your sins

50
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: and thank him for it. Thank the Lord for forgiving

51
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: all the bad stuff, all the wrong choices and decisions

52
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: that were made. Thank God for choosing to love you

53
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: instead of holding your mistakes against you. Thank Him for

54
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: forgiving you of your past sins and transgressions. Thank the

55
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit for having loved you in spite of all

56
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:46,239
Speaker 1: the times you hurt him. Give thanks to God because

57
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: through his own love, he grants us the power to

58
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: love others. Never forget God is present and he is

59
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: listening to you. Come before Him and ask him for

60
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: the strength to choose love over grudges. Ask God for

61
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: help to let go of the hurt from all past

62
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: deeds that were done against you. Ask the Holy Spirit

63
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: to empower you to love others the way Jesus loved you.

64
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: Choose this moment to reach out to God. Ask him

65
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: for the ability to choose love over hurt, to have

66
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: a love so great it will overcome all transgressions committed

67
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: against you. Remember, love overcomes a mountain of offenses. To

68
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: cover a transgression does not mean to pretend it didn't happen,

69
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: but rather to choose to let go of the hurt

70
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: and to love the person instead, to allow love to

71
00:05:53,400 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: be greater. Instead of constantly bringing up past offenses and

72
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: mentioning the wrong done to you, choose instead to love

73
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: that person. Choose to allow love to be greater than

74
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: the hurt. God has already given you the ability to

75
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: repair and mend your broken relationships by leaning on His

76
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: love for you, seek to love others as Jesus loved you.
