(1 Peter 4:8 NKJV) And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”
Have fervent love for one another. Is this a cheesy Valentine ‘s Day message? Absolutely not.
Valentine’s day is man-made and has nothing to do with the love that God wants us to share with one another. But God tells us to love one another with “fervent love”. Fervent means “having great intensity”.
This isn’t always easy, is it? Oh, we can “like” people, but how do we learn to love them fervently?
There’s only one way; to see them as God sees them and to love them with God’s love, not ours.
This takes a lot of practice and a lifetime to get right. But this doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do it.
God has commanded us in His word. That’s enough reason for me to want to do it. How about you?
