Love Covers…
When words spill out
that should have been choked down
When tiny hands leave crayon drawings on newly painted walls
When clothes on the floor…again…cause an uproar inside
When his getting home late means dinner time chaos
When they’re deployed for so long…you feel like you forget
who they are…and your loneliness and anger take over.
When the grade is lower than you’d like it to be
When a choice they made disappoints you
When your child’s emotions overwhelm and they thrust them
upon you
When you just can’t take it any longer…
Love Covers…
When you fail again…and again…and again…
When you want to do better but can’t
When sorrow overwhelms and things go undone
When your own broken heart creates a mess of things…
Love Covers…
His love covers us…It covers all our brokenness…It covers
all our failures…It covers over all the things we wish we could “do over”. Go
to the one who covers…He can wash it pure as snow. Relish in His grace and be
transformed. Allow his love to…sink down
deep…to change what you never thought possible.
Our love can cover too. It can shield the one’s we love the
most from our own wrath. It can cover every day inconveniences with unexpected
grace. Cause isn’t that what its’ really all about…unexpected grace? To show
our cherished people grace when it’s least expected. To help our man know he is
loved despite his short comings. To help our children see that they are more
than making good choices. To show His
love more than we show our disappointment. Unexpected grace…is revealed in our love. Love Covers…
“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers
over a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:8
