Technology is amazing. The latest version of a phone has the most sophisticated photo editing capability available right in the palm of our hands. We can edit a picture to look like we jumped higher than is humanly possible, we can swap faces so everyone’s best look is in one shot, and we can apply filters so no wrinkle or imperfection can be found. We can edit and filter our way to perfection with one device. The apostle Peter talked about love being a sort of filter or edit for our relationships. Here, he writes that loving each other deeply “covers a multitude of sins.”

Love is so powerful, it’s an erasure of the things done against us and the things we’ve done against someone else. It’s so powerful that we learn to see love before we see wrongs. We see others through the lens of love, and they see us through the lens of love, too. Yes, we’ve been hurt by people, and in the same way, we have hurt others. And yes, those hurts were real with real repercussions. But love makes it so those are not the most important things we notice in others or that they notice in us.

With love as our filter, anything is possible in our relationships.
