Whose Sins?
1 Peter 4:8 (KJV)
[8] And above all things have *(fervent charity) among yourselves: for *(charity) shall cover the **multitude of sins.
Charity-means love...
It's all too easy to assume the covering of our own sins!
But the Real Challenge and application here is that The Love you possess, will cover a multitude of sins committed *Against You!
By Others...
It's always easier to overlook an offense from out in that evil world-
But so much harder and almost impossible when the offense and hurt comes from within the circle of loved ones and friends!
The Reason Some Have Become-
Mean and Unforgiving
Is That They "Don't Like Themselves"
And They're Always Equalizing The World Around Them!
Poor, Insecure and Afraid-
They're Retaliating by Lashing Out!
When You Truly Love God-
Then There's No Need to
Love Yourself!
Because His Love is Enough
for Both of You!
