Contemplating Forgiveness

Source: Smart Content Import117 wordsAI-crafted by ChurchWiseAI

Dear Heavenly Father,

As I reflect on Forgiveness in my life today, I am reminded of your wisdom found in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. Help me to see this area of my life through your eyes and respond with the love and grace you have shown me.

Guide me to be a light in the darkness, bringing hope and healing wherever I encounter Forgiveness. May my actions reflect your character and draw others closer to you.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

Take a moment today to consider how God might be calling you to engage with Forgiveness in a way that honors him and serves others. The devotional life is not just about personal growth—it's about being transformed to transform the world around us.
