Devotional Reflection

LoveGratitudeHopeCompassion

Be kind and caring, which are two things that people seem to lack. Maybe we have the wrong heroes to look up to. Sadly, these two traits are often mistaken for signs of weakness instead of strength. To forgive as much as God does takes a lot of courage and strength. So let's be strong!

Prayer

I can never express my gratitude to you enough, holy God, for making such a great effort to pardon me. So on this day, I make the commitment to become more like you by showing those who have wronged me more kindness and grace. I beseech you today to assist me in letting go of my resentment toward _____________, and I beseech you to shower this person with your goodness and grace. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
