“Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins.”
1 Peter 4:8 NRSVUE
“Love covers a multitude of sins.” Our sins may be covered, but love does not excuse them. The Word guides us to maintain love constantly. For me this means ensuring love is primary in all of our interactions. When love is the bond between people, you are gentler, even in times of anger and confusion. Love is the frame, the context, and the glue.
I am grateful for the love my children show me, and the trust and love that binds us together, in our past, in the present, and for years well into our future.
Thanks be to God.
