1st Peter 4:8. “And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.” FERVENT CHARITY. How do I know who are children of God? Look for fervent love in the family. How can I tell those who love God’s Word? Look for fervent love for the Bible, How can I know those who have concern for souls? Look for fervent love of the Gospel. How can I know those who are people of faith? Look for fervent love doing the impossible. How can I know those who have love for His name? Look for fervent love for His honor. How can I know those who of Christ are not ashamed? Look for fervent love of their heavenly Father. How can I know those who give themselves to prayer? Look for fervent love for the Master. How can I know those who heavy burdens share? Look for fervent love for their neighbor. How can I know those whose word I can trust? Look for fervent love for me. How can I know those who give their very best? Look for fervent love for all they see. How can I know those who love the Lord’s return? Look for fervent love as each day begins. How can I know those who won’t from righteousness turn? Look for fervent love for Him.
“I see evidence of Thy grace in so many of Thy people, Father. What a joy to be among them and share life with them. May I be willing to give to them even as I receive from them. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
