Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.

"Love lets the past die.
It moves people to a new beginning
without settling the past.
Love does not have to clear up
all misunderstandings...
Love prefers to tuck all the loose ends
of past rights and wrongs
in the bosom of forgiveness -
and pushes us into a new start."
Lewis Smedes

Colossians 3
...So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity...
