Today’s Reflection: And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:32 NKJV

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering towards us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. II Peter 3:9 NKJV

Heavenly Father, forgive us for any time that we judged another and cast a stone at them when we ourselves are not without sin. Teach us to take the beam out of our own eye before we seek to remove a speck from another’s eye. You are long-suffering and merciful. May we extend the same mercy to others. Forgiving them as You have forgiven us. Your Word says that those who love Your law will have great peace, and nothing shall offend them. When we repent of our sins, You blot them out. You will remember them no more. You remove them from us as far as the east is from the west, keeping no record. May we also keep no record of other’s sins. Enable us to fulfill the command of Jesus to love others as He has loved us for greater love has no one than this to give their life for their friends. In Jesus’ Name Amen
