Love Covers All Sins

Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. Proverbs 10:12


Remember when Noah had too much wine and was lying in his tent naked, and one of his sons, Canaan exposed his nakedness to his two brothers?

“And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness. And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.” Genesis 9:20-27

God was not pleased. How many times have I done that to others? I cannot count. The Lord is not pleased when we expose the faults of others. He would like us to cover them. Not poke fun and make others to be exposed. After all, we sow what we reap (Galatians 6:7)

Additional Applicable Scriptures:

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Matthew 25:40

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 1 Corinthians 13:1
