Love For Other Christians

Poem coming soon/In the planning stage...

It's easy for me to find fault in them
Why they are so different from us all
Very hard to love, it is somewhat grim
Just listen and hear their dissenting brawl 

The the Holy Spirit spoke from within
Love others deeply; love covers their sins
Red covered my face showing my chagrin
Help me Holy Spirit to let love win



1 Peter 4:8

New International Version

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

New Living Translation

Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins.

English Standard Version

Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.

Berean Study Bible

Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

Timothy Hicks March 21, 2016 at 1:50 AM Love does cover all! There is a great soul-searching in this verse. It is hard to love others with faults, but then again it's hard to love ourselves with our OWN faults. They don't call it grace for nothing! I appreciate, and agree, with this beautiful moral, Sarah. Sara Kendrick March 21, 2016 at 8:45 AM Without the Holy Spirit living within me it would be hard to be loving at all..God in his mercy drew me into the fold..Thanks for stopping by..Sara

Robyn Campbell January 16, 2016 at 9:44 AM I'm a Christian, Sara. I think people who say they are Christians and then they gossip about others, cause problems, etc. really aren't. They're pretenders. I can't wait to read your finished poem.
