Don’t scheme against each other. Stop your love of telling lies that you swear are the truth. I hate all these things, says the LORD.
EPHESIANS 4:32 (NLT)
Be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Let your words and deeds ooze with the kindness of Christ.
PRAYER
Merciful God, your kindness to us is incredible. I don't understand how it is, then, that even while pledging allegiance to you and your kingdom, I get so worked up about the stupid things others do. I easily bad-mouth them and occasionally slip into exaggerating their faults to make the point. I need a strong dose of your kindness to settle into my heart. I'm going to focus on being the kind of person Jesus is. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name; your Kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
