November 20

1 Peter 4:1-11

"Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins."

When I read this passage I remembered a saying from many years ago. The saying went like this, "Every day in every marriage there are a multitude of reasons for divorce". I don't think that is literally true, but the concept that in every marriage there are a many reasons to be angry and upset with your spouse is true. What makes a marriage strong, is when the couple allow their love for each other to overlook the offenses. This is true not only marriage but of all relationships. Love is willing to look beyond the immediate action and forgive.
