Verse of the Day

Saturday

Ephesians 4:32  Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Be kind and compassionate, – two qualities that seem to be in short supply. Maybe it’s because we hold up the wrong heroes, but these two qualities are often seen as a sign of weakness rather than strength. To forgive as God forgave us requires great courage and great strength. So, let's be strong!

PRAYER ... Holy God, there is no way I can adequately thank You for sacrificing so much to forgive me. So, on this day, I pledge to be more like You, to share more of kindness and grace with those who have wronged me. Today, I ask You to help me release my bitterness toward _____________ and I ask You to bless this person with Your kindness and grace. By the power of Jesus' example I ask this. Amen.
