Love That Keeps No Record - Anabaptist (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

Source: Contemporary testimony75 words

In 2006, Charles Roberts entered an Amish schoolhouse in Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania, and killed five girls before taking his own life. Within hours, Amish neighbors visited his widow—offering forgiveness, comfort, even financial support for her children. "Love keeps no record of wrongs." The world was stunned. How could they forgive? Generations of practicing 1 Corinthians 13 had prepared them. This wasn't superhuman strength but community-shaped habit. What records are you keeping that love would release?
