Christian Counselor Directory - Weekend Seed Thought: This Is What Love Does

	Seed Thought for this Weekend Sent weekly to over 100,000 Christian families and growing. Weekend Seed Thought This Is What Love Does  Most would agree that spreading false accusation or stories is wrong or immoral. If spoken it is called slander. If written it is called libel. There is not much argument that slander and libel is something we should never do. But what about spreading stories about people that are true? We could think it is okay to talk about people’s missteps and failures if it is true, or to think it is okay if what is true is only partially true.  We are reminded of biblical Noah and his three sons when it comes to exposing the faults and missteps of others. Noah drank too much wine. He was drunk and fell asleep unclothed. Ham found his father naked and couldn’t wait to tell his brothers that his dad was compromised. The other two sons, Japheth and Shem, walked in backwards into the tent and covered their fathers nakedness (Genesis 9:22-26). This is what love does. Paul said in 1 Peter 4:8, “And above all things, have fervent love among yourselves; for love shall cover a multitude of sins.” Benjamin Franklin once said, “I will seek ill of no man, not even in the matter of truth, but rather excuse the faults I hear, and upon proper occasions, all the good I know of everybody.” Listen to Our Devotional Podcast At the Christian Counselor Directory New Postings Each Week NEW Book!  Nine Fruits of the Vine and Five Little Foxes Resource for Personal Devotions, Discussion Groups, Bible Studies by Joseph Hutchison   Seed Thoughts Sponsored by: Christian Counselor Directory
