This verse was discussed at length.
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
1 Peter 4:8
Isn't that a wonderful verse. Last night we were talking about how we, us puny humans, are capable of loving each other sometimes to the point of blindness. Once we love someone, it can be pretty hard to make us stop loving them. They can lie to us, hurt our feelings, just plain walk all over us, and yet we still love them.
I hope that is how much God loves us, so much that nothing we do can stop him from loving us and all he wants for us is to come to him.
Amazing love!
I have found from personal experience that even when someone I love hurts me, I still love them, and I just want them to make the right choices. I want them to realize that with God on their side, they will always be OK.
I imagine that's how God loves us. He only wants to take care of us, he wants us to come to him, and stay with him.
Love is alive, because God is alive!!
So true. I love this verse...it carries me through parenting. I do my best with my kids, but we're human and I'm sure I've hurt them in ways I simply don't understand. Thank God for His love, grace and mercy that covers my multitudes of sins!
