Loving Through Other’s Faults
Scripture for Today: July 4th, 2026
Ephesians 4:2 (NLT) “Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. “
There isn’t a day that goes by for the opportunity to show kindness and patience towards another person. For those who are mature in their age, it becomes even harder due to the lack of patience. This comes from just getting tired. When you repeatedly see things that can be prevented, and your mind is exhausted from seeing the same lack of progress, lack of organization, or whatever makes you feel like your nerves can’t take it anymore.
God wants us to be patient with each other and make allowances for each other’s faults. This means we know up front a person’s behavior, and it is not our responsibility to try to change a person. That is the Holy Spirit’s job. When you are making allowance for another person, you are saying, “With Love, I accept you as you are.” Here is another supporting scripture:
1 Peter 4:8 (NLT) ”Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins.”
Your love for another person should be to the point that it covers a multitude of another person’s sins. Don’t confuse this with condoning wrongful and blatant perverted sin against God. Remember, Jesus went to the homes of Tax Collectors and hung around people who were adulterers and sinners. He didn’t condemn them. He loved them enough to get the people to see that they needed a savior and needed to change. Jesus wasn’t judgmental. Just loving.
If you find yourself unable to be patient and caring for another person, it means you are trying to do it on your own. Ask God for Help and make the decision to be loving regardless!
Be Blessed!
