Pro 10:12 Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.
This is a verse that, once you have memorized it and assimilated it (especially the second part), it will become part of the two-edge sword with which the Spirit fights in order to help you in times of temptation. I have found that as soon as somebody has done something which does not please me, this verse comes up and I am able to forgive and to overlook the offense. The Spirit really uses this verse to help me not to become irritated and to avoid unnecessary arguments. An example is when the bread is finished and the last one to have some bread did not take another loaf out of the freezer and I have to make a sandwich quickly for my husband... Through the help of this verse I can overlook this and rather act in love. I cannot count the number of times it has popped up in my mind and helped me to be a more godly person. I praise the Lord for this jewel of truth!
Love,
