Read 1 Peter 4:8-11
Jesus said that the most important law was to love God and the second most important law was to love one another. Peter reminds us again that love for one another is so powerful that it will cover sins. Jesus blood covered our sins and took away our shame; so the way we do that for others is to love them. One of the ways we can love others is to invite them into our homes. We are to love having guests, without complaining. As God has blessed us we are to bless one another. The greatest thing we have been given is salvation; so we are to give that away freely. When we talk, we should be glorifying God in our conversation. I experienced this yesterday in zumba class. Our instructor was from Latin America and had the friendliest face and smile. Between songs she explained the words to the songs we had just danced to. They all had to do with amore` (love). She asked us to raise our hands if we were in love. Then she asked us to raise our hands if we knew somebody loved us. I raised my hands on both. Then she said that we all should raise our hands because we are all loved by Jesus. Later on she told us the words of a Spanish song that said, if we have the faith of a mustard seed we can say to this mountain, be gone and cast into the sea. I loved her boldness to witness and it made me glad that I came. I told her when it was over that she did a good job of letting her light shine. She used the talents that God had given her (to dance) and her platform to speak truth and life into a class of people that she didn’t know. It was a blessing to hear.
Lord, help us to cover one another with love. Let our conversations give glory to you in order to win a soul to the kingdom.
