...For Love!

1 Peter 4:8 "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins."

There is no doubt that we were created for love! In the beginning, Adam had the companionship of all the animals, but this wasn't enough. God created a partner for him, so that they may share in a love for one another. Still today, we long for the love of a partner, a parent, or a friend.
Seven years ago, I married my wife and made a lifelong commitment. Why? Because of a love we shared for each other. There is no way anyone could ever convince me that we are not made for love after the the way I felt the day she said "I do," or the day I saw my children for the first time.
It was for love that Christ paid the greatest price for all of us. He was beaten, mocked and crucified all for love. Though we were undeserving, His love granted us forgiveness of sin. As Christians we are told the greatest thing to have is love. Acting on love will lead to forgiveness, as well as restored friendships, marriage and families.
