Choosing Forgiveness
_________________________________
Thought for the Day
“We all have been hurt and we all have a choice: we can spend the precious gift of time that God has given us harboring resentment and anger or we can choose to forgive and break free of the bonds that keep us from becoming fully what He wants us to be.”

Today’s Prayer
Lord, let me follow in the steps of Your Son and learn to forgive those who have hurt me. Let my heart know the compassion that I need so that any hurt, anger, or bitterness may be set free and replaced with love and joy. Amen
