Most important of all, continue to
show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8
Something
about this verse give me such peace and warmth. Probably because I know I will
fall short, I know I will fail. Yet even amid my frailties and brokenness there
is something that covers my sin. The most beautiful refuge I could ever ask for
is the truth God offers that we can be held by daily. Love is more important than
our brokenness! Did you hear that? Love is more important than our
imperfections, the thing we can’t get right, that temptation that keeps getting
us off track.
If we can receive the gift of grace from Jesus that is handed to us with open arms, if we can offer that same gift of grace to others than it covers all the dirt, grime, bitterness, darkness, shame, and weariness. In other words love shelters, protects, and shields us from hopelessness and defeat. And it’s when we receive the gift of grace and give this gift to others that we find a new life springs up within us and our love only grows deeper and deeper. I hope you find comfort in this verse today.
