Today we are reading 1 Peter 4. In this chapter Peter writes about loving one another. “The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 4:7-11 ESV This passage is a great guide for us relationally. “Love covers a multitude of sins.” “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another.” These directives are the opposite of our sinful inclination. We usually want to use our gifts to benefit ourselves. May God help you discover your gifts and His purpose in giving them to you. Pastor Tim
