Love Covers All Wrongs

12 Hate starts quarrels,
but love covers every wrong.

13 Wisdom is found on the lips of a person who has understanding,
but a rod is for the back of one without sense.

14 Those who are wise store up knowledge,
but the mouth of a stubborn fool invites ruin.
Prov 10:12-14 (GW)

30 The fruit of a righteous person is a tree of life,
and a winner of souls is wise.
Prov 11:30 (GW)

Reflection of Bee:

What someone did recently made me feel very sad and hurt. I just wondered how a person could be so insensitive and mean, especially from someone whom I have cared for before. I felt very angry and felt the urge to show others what kind of person he is. I know I have to leave vengeance to God and not take things int my own hands, yet I still felt the unrest in my heart and it almost turned into hatred.... I didn't feel such strong feeling before.

However, in my Bible reading today (belated one), I came across Proverbs 10:12:

"Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs."

This verse came to me on time (though it was behind my reading schedule). Well God's timing is always perfect, though ours aren't. This verse reminded me that I should let love reigns in my heart and not take revenge. I should give life to someone instead of bringing death by my actions even if I have been hurt. I need God's help to keep my peace, keep my cool, and don't react. I need to let God's love covers the wrongs that were done to me.


Dear Lord,
You are always on time, though I may be behind time. Thank You for speaking to my heart today. I want to surrender all the hurts I felt to You. May Your love reigns an let it covers all wrongs that were done to me. I need You to hold me tight again. Please don't let me slip away.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
