Love is patient, love is kind, it isn’t jealous, it doesn’t brag, it isn’t arrogant, it isn’t rude, it doesn’t seek its own advantage, it isn’t irritable, it doesn’t keep a record of complaints, it isn’t happy with injustice, but it is happy with the truth. ~ 1 Corinthians 13:4-6 (CEB)
Lord,
THANKS: Thank you for forgiving me. You don't hold my wrongdoing against me.
REGRETS: I wish I could say the same for myself. I have a tendency to remember even the little things that people have done to offend me. And because I'm so concerned about myself I can't even forgive myself. When it comes to forgiveness I am a terrible mess.
INTERCESSION: Please give me a forgiving heart so that forgiveness becomes second nature to me.
PURPOSE: I want to love and forgive in the same way that you love and forgive. Your love is transforming me and moving me in that direction.
Amen.
