It's the last day of February and I want to share my most favorite verse on love:"Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins."
-- I Peter 4:8
I consider myself incredibly blessed to have received this kind of love in my life... from my husband, children, friends, family... and from God, who has been incredibly patient with me. I think this is one of the greatest blessings of the Christian life that we can have relationships that can extend this kind of grace and love that allows them to bend, and not have to break, as we deal with sins in each other's lives.
There's a great song by Sara Groves that came to mind when I was thinking about this verse. I couldn't find a good youtube video of it, but if you click on the link below, you can listen to the song.
When It Was Over:
When it was over and they could talk about it
She said there's just one thing I have got to know
What in that moment when you were running so hard and fast
Made you stop and turn for home
He said I always knew you loved me even though I'd broken your heart
I always knew there'd be a place for me to make a brand new start
Oh love wash over a multitude of things
Love wash over a multitude of things
Love wash over a multitude of things
Make us whole
When it was over and they could talk about it
They were sitting on the couch
She said what on earth made you stay here
When you finally figured out what I was all about
He said I always knew you'd do the right thing
Even though it might take some time
She said, Yeah, I felt that and that's probably what saved my life
Oh love wash over a multitude of things
Love wash over a multitude of things
Love wash over a multitude of things
Make us whole
There is a love that never fails
There is a healing that always prevails
There is a hope that whispers a vow
A promise to stay while we're working it out
So come with your love and wash over us
