Morning with Ebenezer

LOVE COVERS

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

1 Peter 4:8 NIV

One of the famous and all time mentioned verse in the New Testament Bible is this, ''For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life, John 3:16''. This verse shows how the love of God covered the multitude of sins of men through the death of His Son on the cross.

Jesus taught his disciples to love one another like the way he loved them, and he said through that all people will know and understand that they were the disciples of Jesus, John 13:34-35. Love marked the whole ministry of Jesus when he was in his flesh, he did all things in love, the healings and miracles which he performed showed how much he loved us, the lost ones! What a great love is this for someone to give away his life for the sake of his friends,John 15:13.

One of the sign to know that you walk out of love, is when you will start seeing the faults of others than the good in them. Many times in our relationships with our neighbors, we tend to put to remembrance of hurtful things which they did for us in the past, every time they did something wrong. Every now and then we bring the past in front of our neighbors, we cause them to feel insecure and as the result instead of being covered by the love inside of us, they get to be exposed by unforgiveness in us.

This morning, God wants you to learn to cover the multitude of our neighbors sins, by the love which He has placed inside of us. We need to stop accusing our neighbors for what they did for us in the past, and learn to forgive them and help them to overcome whatsoever the weakness they showed us. 

Let love rule, let love take control over your life. Let love be the essence of your decision makings, let love covers the hurtful things which people did for you in the past. God is love, all who does not love, they did not know God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God, John 4:7b-8.God bless you!
