God's Love

Love That Forgives

"Love covers a multitude of sins."
1 Peter 4:8

Reflection

Love does not pretend nothing happened. It chooses to stay anyway. That choice is what holds families and friendships together.

Prayer

Father, teach me to love enough to forgive. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. What does it mean that love covers sins?
  2. Does forgiving mean pretending nothing happened?
  3. Why does forgiveness hold families together?

5-minute activity

Draw a small mark on a sheet of paper, then cover it with a heart sticker or a paper heart. Talk about love choosing to stay. Each person names someone they choose to keep loving. Read 1 Peter 4:8.
