“Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.” Proverbs 10:12
Hatred and a lack of genuine love toward others stir up strife and conflict. Love for others moves us to forgive and overlook their faults and weaknesses and dwell with them in peace. The Scriptures urge believers to “be kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you” (Eph. 4:32).
Forgive my sins and faults, O LORD, and move me to love and forgive others as You have forgiven me for the sake of Christ Jesus and His atoning sacrifice on the cross. Amen.
