Love Thinks No Evil
Love has no ability to notice and account for wrong done by others.
Though not naïve, love does not allow wrong done to be magnified and
empowered.
When a wrong is encountered, love remains alive as the evil done is not
noticed and told to someone else.
Evil thoughts are disabled by looking unto Jesus, the Author and finisher of
our faith.
Think on things above – the joy. Overcome evil with good.
Love inverts the hurt to a demonstration of love.
Take every thought captive to love.
Application:
Prayer – “Father, guide my thoughts by Your Spirit to the realm of truth,
where every thought is taken captive to love and no evil thought is given a
place. Develop in me an inability to notice or account for evil done towards
me. Convert hurt into a motivation for love and keep me from allowing any
evil done to form an evil thought in my mind.”
Intentional action: Where you experience an evil done to which you have
given thought in the past and rehearsed to others, in love repel that evil
thought and replace it with a God-thought.
Fix your eyes on Jesus as the Holy Spirit reveals Him in prayer, and follow
Him to the realm of love where all thoughts are only of joyful restoration
and peace.
