"love...thinks no evil" ~ I Corinth 13:5~
Do I automatically think the best about people and situations? Or am I naturally inclined to think the worst? We have all been victim to rumors and lies at some point in our life, and we know how important it was to have just one person in our corner, believing the best in us. You and I can be that one person for someone else. We can refuse to believe the worst. And even if the worst proves to be true...we can still show them love despite the worst. Another part of our job as Christians is to help restore a fallen brother or sister in Christ. Love doesn't stop when people don't live up to our expectations, or disappoint us. And love doesn't desire revenge when we have been wronged. Love forgives, even if never asked. Christ calls us to a higher standard. That forgiveness is for our freedom.
