 | Above all things have fervent love for one another, for "love will cover a
multitude of sins." 1 Peter 4:8
Have you ever noticed.
When others are set in their ways, they're obstinate--but you are firm and
resolved.
When your neighbor doesn't like your friend, they're prejudiced--but when
you don't like their friend, you're a good judge of character.
When they try to treat someone especially well, they're buttering up the
person--but when you do so, you're being thoughtful.
When they take time to do things well, they're a perfectionist--but when you
do so, you're striving for excellence.
When they spend a lot, they're a spend-thrift--but when you overdo, you're
generous.
When they notice flaws in things, they're critical--but when you do, you are
perceptive.
When they are mild-mannered, you call them weak--but when you are, you're
gracious.
When they dress well, they're extravagant--but when you do, you're
tastefully in style.
When they say what they think, they're opinionated--but when you do, you're
being honest.
When they take great risks, they're fool-hardy--but when you do, you're
brave.
Thought: Faults are thick where love is thin
