Devotional Reflection

LoveJoyPeaceGratitudeHope

It's such a sweet blessing to be able to forgive. God does more than just forgive, though. He washes and then forgets. His love is not carefully measured or limited. If we really want Him to be our God and Father, He fills us with love. So let's cry out and ask God for forgiveness and praise the great and holy name of the Almighty, knowing that our Father wants to bless us with goodness, mercy, and love.

Prayer

I call out to you, O Most Holy Father, to let you know how significant your forgiveness and love are in my life. I'm grateful that you sent Jesus to atone for my sins and demonstrate your love. As I strive to live for your honor, please help me to live today as you would have me: let others see my happiness and my passion for you. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
