Scripture References:

• 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 - “Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
• James‬ ‭1‬:‭19‬ ‭NLT‬‬ - “Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.”
• ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭103‬:‭12‬ ‭NLT‬‬ - “He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west.”
• ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭147‬:‭3‬ ‭NLT‬‬ - “He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.”
• Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭13‬ ‭NLT‬‬ - “Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.”
• Proverbs‬ ‭15‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬ - “A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare.”
