There is a very curious passage in the Bible that says, “The end of the world is coming soon so be very diligent in your prayers.” I’m guessing if we all knew the world was going to end, we’d all be a bit more earnest in our prayers.
But then it goes on to say that in these final days love is even more important than prayer. Why? Because “Love,” the Apostle Peter tells us, “covers a multitude of sins.”
You’ve probably been in a situation where even the smallest mistake you made was criticized and ridiculed. That wasn’t very loving. Because love forgives even the most serious offenses. Love covers a multitude of mistakes.
Ultimately it is Jesus’ love that covers our sins, and it is his love working in us that enables us to forgive others.
Love is more important than anything, even prayer. So love like there’s no tomorrow!
