Proverbs 10:12 ¶ Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
We read over this verse in our family bible reading time the other day, and 2 things about this verse stuck out to me.
1 Is the fact that in our life... in our relationships, we should not dwell on peoples faults, but that we should let Love cover a multitude of sins. Its an action that we have to take. It can be so easy to pick out our friends' faults, and a sin of all people... is gossip of course. And what does gossip do? It tares apart the downside of someone. But ya know, we should never focus on that! Because God asks us to love, because he first loved us....... which brought me to my second thought
2 why do we/should we let love cover peoples sins? …. because Jesus did it for us! And this is the part I love the most.... man I just cant get over it! The Lord looked down on us, and he knows that we are simply filled with sin. But Jesus loves us so much! He came and died for us! I know that to many of us this is not a new fact. But I still cant comprehend! Im just amazed by his love! And so ya know... when we accept Christs love- when we accept his gift of salvation, his love covers ALL of our sins! He doesnt look at us and pick out our faults- He looks at as and see's our redemption! A wicked heart made white as snow. Im just astounded. WOW!!!!!
