TODAY’S WORD…

.

Bear with one another

and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other;

just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.

.

– Colossians 3:13

QUOTE…

.

“…to forgive the incessant provocations of daily life – to keep on forgiving…

How can we do it?

Only, I think, by remembering where we stand,

by meaning our words when we say in our prayers each night

"Forgive our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us."

.

We are offered forgiveness on no other terms.

To refuse it is to refuse God’s mercy for ourselves.

There is no hint of exceptions and God means what He says

.

– C. S. Lewis

PRAYER…

.

Lord Jesus,

You have shown me,

by Your own actions,

what it means to truly love and forgive.

.

Lord, with You in my heart,

I know that I can obey Your caring commands.

.

Come, Lord Jesus, come into my heart!
