Love Covers

Hatred stirs up strife … 

...but love covers all transgressions

Proverbs 10:12

Wisdom, worship, faith and discipleship have been great studies for me.  But it wasn't until I started appreciating the depth of love that I really found what was true.  Love is the ring that rules all the others – it’s the key to everything, even wisdom. 

This morning in my Proverbs time the verse above came to me, and there it was, the word “Love” again.  And this passage brought to mind a few others.  Love and wisdom - the truth is: love is the highest wisdom.  

I challenge you who read this to “three column” these … to make a real effort to DO and BE these things as a human being.  Make a list, pray prayers, or do whatever helps you … but OBEY this.

He who conceals a transgression seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates intimate friends.  - Proverbs 17:9 

 My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.   -  James 5:19-20 

Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins   1 Peter 4:8  

Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your souls for a sincere love of the brethren, fervently love one another from the heart  -  1 Peter 1:22
