Scripture of the Day: Colossians 3:13

"Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."

Reflection

In our journey of faith, forgiveness is not just a suggestion, but a divine command that echoes the heart of our loving Savior. Colossians 3:13 serves as a gentle yet powerful reminder that to forgive is to release ourselves from the burden of bitterness and embrace the peace that God intends for us. When we choose to forgive, we mirror the unconditional love that Christ has shown us, setting not only ourselves but also those who have wronged us, free.

Let us consider for a moment the weight of the grievances we hold. Are they worth the joy they steal from us? Christ doesn’t ask us to forgive because it excuses the behavior of others, but because it frees our own hearts to receive His grace and healing more fully. Forgiveness and reconciliation are not just gifts we give to others but are also profound gifts we give to ourselves.

Today's Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your boundless forgiveness that covers my sins and restores my soul. Teach me to forgive as You have forgiven me. Help me to bear with others, not holding grievances but fostering a spirit of peace and reconciliation. May my life reflect Your grace and lead others to Your loving embrace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
