DO YOU NEED A BREAKTHROUGH?

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

I Peter 4:8

The very life of Christ, his death, his resurrection and his intercession demonstrate the truth of this verse! His love covers over the multitude of our sins.

I am a sinner, married to a sinner and we have four children who are also sinners. That means we all need God's love. God so loved us that he sent his One and Only Son to die for our sins, to forgive us. That act of love open a way for us to be his children, to have a relationship with the Father. Our forgiveness, our love opens the way for our relationships with each other. Without this forgiveness, this love we just have walls. There is much more to love than just forgiveness, as I Corinthians 13 points out, but forgiveness is a fundamental ingredient of our Christianity.  

Is there someone coming to mind as you read this? Is there a relationship where you have been hurt or you know you have hurt someone? Love, forgiveness covers a multitude of sins. 

Father, help us to love each other as you have loved us in Christ. Praise be to you in us today!
