Verse from 1 Peter

最重要的是要彼此切实相爱,因为爱能遮盖许多的罪。(彼得前书 4:8)

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. (1 Peter 4:8)

Living in this world sometimes feels like falling into a no-grace sinkhole. When minor flaws are blown up into major indiscretions or when people refuse to overlook the faults and offenses of others, we end up burdened by the weight of guilt that we were never meant to carry. God, in His grace, sent Jesus to carry the burden for us. Those who receive God’s gift of grace have the privilege of offering it to others on Christ’s behalf: “Above all things have fervent love for one another, for ‘love will cover a multitude of sins’” (1 Peter 4:8).

Father God, 
the culture around us can seem so
harsh and hard on people when they fail. 
Help me to show grace and patience, because You have
been gracious to me and have forgiven my sin.
