Bible Verse of The Day – 10-22-18

1 Peter 4:8 (NKJV) 8 And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”

As I read this verse, I asked myself, “what is fervent love?”.

Here’s what I discovered.

Showing great warmth. Intensity of spirit, feeling, enthusiasm etc. Ardent. Having, expressive of, or characterized by intense feeling; passionate.

This kind of love is what we are to learn to have toward one another. This love that Peter is talking about is a love that works. It is a love that conquers and covers a lot of sin.

How many of us today would love to have someone love us like this? Well, we do! His name is Jesus Christ. He is so passionate about us, He gave all He had; His life. No one else has ever done what He has done for us.

He wants us to love others, here, right where we are at, the way He loves us; with a fervent love.

Some of us may say today, “I don’t know how to love. I was abused, I’ve lost my love and my heart is wounded from it”.

God wants to heal that brokenness and restore your ability to love. Just open your heart up to Him again. He will heal it and make things right, so we can love again.

Dear God in Heaven,

I come to You this day and say, I’m sorry. I admit, I have been closed up for quite some time now. I have been hurt and my heart aches at times so badly. I don’t know this love that You speak of. Please help me, heal me and take away my pain. I want to love again. In the name of Jesus Christ, help me, Lord, to love like this. Amen.

God is moving. He wants a people that will love.
