Forgiveness Lived

Connection & Compassion

Scripture

Ephesians 4:32

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”

Devotion

September will bring hurts—small misunderstandings, larger offenses, disappointments. Scripture teaches that you are to forgive as Christ forgave you. This does not mean the hurt didn't happen or doesn't matter. It means you release the debt. You let go of the grudge. You make space for reconciliation. Forgive. Free yourself and others.

Today’s Step

Is there someone you need to forgive? Is there forgiveness you need to receive? Today, begin the work of forgiveness.

Prayer

God, help me to forgive as You have forgiven me. Help me to release grudges. Help me to make space for reconciliation. Help forgiveness to free me and others.
