Proverbs 16, 17

We all know dirt on people. It’s discreet and loving to overlook faults and offenses on the part of others.

He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love, But he who repeats or gossips about a matter separates intimate friends. [Pr. 17:9 AMP]

It gets more difficult to hold on to this principle when the offender takes advantage of you or belittles you … or doesn’t deserve the gesture. Nevertheless, one of you must be more honorable and take the hit. After all, ISN’T THAT WHAT JESUS DID FOR US?!?
