"To whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little." This was said by the Saviour of the world. It offers that to whom much is forgiven, the same loves much. Forgiveness strengthens the bond of love. That must be the reason the Holy Book says "Love covers a multitude of sins." It offers that to have more love in a relationship is to have more forgiveness. Don't pray for more love, pray for more grace to forgive your partner; because, forgiveness will strengthen the bond of love between you and your partner.
When your partner offends you, take that opportunity to strengthen the bond of love by instant forgiveness. Permit me to borrow the word of Napoleon hill which says " In the midst of difficulty lies opportunity." It means that in the midst of that offence lies the opportunity to increase your partner's love for you through forgiveness. Love increases to the level of offences which can be forgiven. It's not easy to forgive especially when the event is very painful. Let's pray for grace to forgive. Forgiveness not only increases the bond of love but also releases an individual from the bondage of bitterness.
When you forgive, it doesn't mean you will forget the pain immediately. At times, forgetting the pain may take time. It might take weeks, months, even years depending on the degree of pain. You may ask, "how can I know I have truly forgive others?" It's when the matter comes to your remembrance without bitterness or anger towards the offender. If you still feel bitterness, anger or revenge, you have not truly forgiven from the bottom of your heart. Forgiveness is from the heart and not only from the mouth. Remember, to whom much is forgiven, the same loves much. Increase your partner's love for you by sincerely forgiving him/her.
