Title: Love covers all Sins!

-
And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/1pe.4.8.KJV
Devotion: Charity(Love) is the ultimate in human relationship it is the glue that glues all together, without love life will be catastrophic. A society without love has no fear of God because God Himself is love and will not be different from animal kingdom where might rules.
 Unfortunately there are people who do not love anybody other than themselves; we read about them daily, it is unsafe to travel on their roads, live with them or trade with them. They will cause the person bodily harm if not killed and cause spiritual harm. 
  Peter and Paul were aware of such people hence they preached charity to you and me today. In the verse of today Peter emphasized the importance of Love among christians and by extension the society.  The good news becomes easy to deliver when you radiate love to the people. A quarellsome person cannot preach the gospel. 
Apostle Paul also in 1 Corinthians 13: 1-13 emphasized love (Charity). He made us realize that no matter how good we are spiritually if we lack love we are nothing and will be ineffective.
 Remember that Jesus loves us, forgives us our sins when we confess and gave His life for us. We His followers should walk in His footsteps. We must love the people around us and also forgive their sin. Love covers all Sins, it does not count sin but forgives.
  If we say we love Jesus but fail to love our neighbours and forgive when they hurt us there's no love in us. You cannot love who you did not see and fail to love who you see physically. Jesus is love, you too should be love. Hallelujah.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
