Love covers all things - It's a Full Spectrum!


Love is Sincere.

“This is the great unworldliness,” Drummond says. “Love thinks no evil, imputes no motive, sees the bright side, puts the best construction on every action. What a delightful state of mind to live in. What a stimulus and benediction even to meet with it for a day! To be trusted is to be saved. And if we try to influence or elevate others, we shall soon see that success is in proportion to their belief of our belief in them.”

In my opinion, love thinks the best . . . It thinks the best of your friends, your spouse, your children, your family. You may have heard the quote, “We judge others by their actions, but we judge ourselves by our motive or intent.” Judge others by their best intentions - - give the benefit of the doubt in their decisions or your perceived motives. You never lose when you think the best.

“Love rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in truth. I have called this Sincerity. The charity which delights not in exposing the weakness of others, but “covers all things.” (Drummond)

Jesus is our example – He covered all things. He covered all my “things” – all shortcomings, all sin, all wrong motives. He covered all.

Rejoice this weekend . . . Jesus loved. He covered all things on the cross. And then He arose! He got up, and He made us His example. Be a good one, too.

Love well.
