Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry (Eph. 4:26).
Trust is based on love. Many characteristics of love are mentioned in 1 Corinthians chapter 13 that will help us trust others more or regain lost trust. (1 Cor. 13:4-8) For example, verse 4 says that “love is patient and kind.” Jehovah is patient with us even when we sin against him. So we, too, should be patient with our brothers if they say or do things that upset or hurt us. Verse 5 adds that love “is not easily provoked” and “keeps no record of injury.” We don’t want to keep a mental record of all our brothers’ offenses. Ecclesiastes 7:9 says not to get angry easily. Let’s try to see our brothers as Jehovah sees them. He loves them and doesn’t keep a record of their sins. So neither should we. (Ps. 130:3) Instead of focusing on their flaws, let’s focus on their beautiful qualities. (Matt. 7:1-5) w22.09 3, 4 pars. 6, 7.
