Love One Another - 1 Peter 4

S - 1 Peter 4: 8 And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”
O - Peter is commanding the people to love one another.
A - I should constantly be loving those around me. If I truly love someone, the faults and/or sins of these individuals will be easily covered up and/or forgiven by me. This holds true for those that are my family, or an acquaintance, or a stranger, or an enemy. Regardless of the relationship that I have or don't have with a person, I should have love for them as that will only bring them closer to me and, more importantly, God.
P - God, help me to show love to everyone that I meet and know. Let this love be an unconditional love that shows them that regardless of how they treat me or others that they are loved. This love can only be shown by your presence and conviction in my life. Thank you for your promise to be with me daily. Thank you also for your example of true love through your son Jesus Christ. I worship you and stand in awe before you.
