Proverbs of a 41 yr old man

Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned backward, and they did not see their father’s nakedness. Genesis 9:20. Is there anyone in our lives instead of openly shaming them for their faults and failures. That we can turn and walk backwards and cover them in their nakedness before man and God? We are called as Gods redeemed children to love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Love is such a loaded word and means so much more than what we usually think. In this context it's amazing how Love honors. Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers and overwhelms all transgressions, forgiving and overlooking another’s faults. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. It's not turning a blind eye or approval of evil. Its holding people accountable for their actions while still honoring them with your love and grace. Scriptures says: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins. Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself. Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Show mercy to still others, but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives. I tell you that in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous ones who do not need to repent. Amen. Praise God! Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces.
