Proverbs 10

Devotional:
Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs. (Proverbs 10:12).

When your life is filled with constant strife, controversy, disagreement, and frustration, it is typically an environment where hatred abounds and love and care are either not evident. We’ve all seen this at times in our families; hopefully, it is a short-lived experience. When love is able to come back into the family with its staying presence and Holy Spirit sweetness, we rejoice in the covering of offenses and the realization that we are sinners and need the power of a holy and forgiving God. Love builds, hatred tears down. We thank and praise God for His grace and forgiveness.

Pray it:
God, I’m so thankful for your unrelenting grace and mercy. Help me to be a catalyst for your love and grace in a word of division and discord. As I show and speak love to others, help them see and become infatuated with your love that transforms lives. Amen.
