       Verse 14: “And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony” (ESV). That’s the cure. That’s the hope. That’s the attribute we can all strive for. Love. Putting on love. Remember, this is what Peter has told us. He said, “Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins” (1 Peter 4:8, ESV). That’s how healing occurs. The only way that one can move on into the future in a positive way, and a positive way toward the offender, is to see things under a different light, to see circumstances in a new way. It means giving up those old character traits that Paul has been discussing in this chapter, in Colossians 3, all that anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from our mouths and related feelings that can be rooted deep within us. Those negative traits are often beloved by us, believe it or not, without us actually realizing it.
