1 Corinthians 13:6-7

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. - 1 Corinthians 13:6-7

Dear Jesus,

You were never part of the rumor mill.  You helped spread love and truth and not dirt.  Help me seek good gossip and good reports about others in my world. Help me also protect the reputation of my friends, family and foes. Give me the patience to allow them an opportunity to win my trust.  Give me that love that tenaciously hangs in there in every relationship whether they be easy or hard.  Make me a blessing even to those who are upset with me.  That's how you lived when you saved me.  That's how I want to live as your saved one. 

Amen

Pastor Don Patterson

Love willfully forgets the sins of others before they get to the lips for repeating.
