Real love shows up in small, unseen choices.

A Bible affirmation for everyday faith, rooted in 1 Peter 4:8.

Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

1 Peter 4:8 · BSB

Reflection

Above all, Peter says. Before gifts, before service, before everything else on his list: love one another deeply. A faithful life is usually seen at home and at work long before it's seen anywhere public.

A prayer

God, make my love steady and sincere, even where no one is watching.
