Écritures
Éphésiens 4:32
Soyez bons les uns envers les autres, compatissants, vous pardonnant réciproquement, comme Dieu vous a pardonné en Christ.
Kind and Tenderhearted
Une courte réflexion pour mettre en pratique la Parole de Dieu.
Paul gives three simple instructions: be kind, be tenderhearted, be forgiving. Then he gives the reason: "even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." Our forgiveness of others flows from God's forgiveness of us. We have been forgiven a debt we could never pay, so we can release the smaller debts others owe us. Forgiveness does not pretend the hurt never happened; it hands the hurt to God. Who do you need to forgive today?

Prière
Une prière simple pour répondre à la Parole de Dieu.
Father, thank You for forgiving me so completely in Christ. Soften my heart toward the people who have hurt me. Give me grace to be kind and tenderhearted today, and help me to forgive as You have forgiven me. In Jesus' name, Amen.
