Charity…beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. – 1 Corinthians 13:7

Let us survey the triumph of love’s labour…in bearing all things. The word here rendered “bear” might as correctly have been translated “cover.” “Covereth” is the meaning of the word in ordinary Greek, but Paul generally uses the word in the sense of “bear.” (L)ove bears all things in silence, concealing injuries as much as possible even from herself. True love refuses to see faults, unless it be that she may kindly help in their removal. Love has no wish to see faults. She painfully fears that there may be something wrong, but she is loath to be convinced of it: she ignores it as long as she can and wishes that she could deny it altogether. Love covers; that is, it never proclaims the errors of good men. There are busybodies abroad who never spy out a fault in a brother, but they must need hurry off to their next neighbour with the savoury news, and then they run up and down the street as though they had been elected common criers. It is by no means honourable to men or women to set up to be common informers. Love stands in the presence of a fault, with a finger on her lip. If anyone is to smite a child of God, let it not be a brother. Even if a professor be a hypocrite, love prefers that he should fall by any hand rather than her own. Love covers all injuries by being silent about them and acting as if they had never been. She sitteth alone, and keepeth silence…I would, brothers and sisters, that we could all imitate the pearl oyster. A hurtful particle intrudes itself into its shell, and this vexes and grieves it. It cannot eject the evil, and what does it do but cover it with a precious substance extracted out of its own life, by which it turns the intruder into a pearl. Oh, that we could do so with the provocations we receive from our fellow Christians, so that pearls of patience, gentleness, long-suffering, and forgiveness might be bred within us by that which else had harmed us. ~ C.H. Spurgeon
