John 21:17 He said to him the third time, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter felt hurt because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" And he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.”
"Love means never having to say you're sorry" is a line from the novel and 1970 film Love Story.
I think John Lennon may be been closer to the truth when he said, "Love means having to say you're sorry every fifteen minutes."
Hate means never having to say you’re sorry. Love means you’re willing to sacrifice your pride and make amends even when you’ve both been in the wrong. Love means hanging in with each other and working through the hurt.
How many times must we seek to restore the relationship? 3 times? 7 times? 70 times 7 times?
Thank you Jesus for reaching out even to those who betrayed and abandoned you. We’ll try to continue to tend your lambs.
