“In prayer there is a connection between
what God does and what you do.
You can’t get forgiveness from God,
 for instance, without also forgiving others.
If you refuse to do your part
 you cut yourself off from God’s part .”
-Matthew 6: 14-15 [The Message]

A Time to Think… “Being the recipient that you are of God’s great grace, does it not make sense to give grace to others? .”  ―Max Lucado, Pastor & Author

A Time to Act…  Think about waking up each day with a sense of grace—for yourself and others. How liberating would that be—forgiveness in the grace of Christ. No doubt, it would change your outlook for the day and if you continue in that grace, it will change lives—yours, and the others you encounter!

A Time to Pray… O Lord, why is it so easy to accept the gracious forgiveness you give me and so difficult to practice that same saving grace to others? Breathe your wisdom into my mind and heart, that I may be a light to others who need your love and forgiveness. Help me to embrace a forgiving spirit so others may be blessed by your unending grace, AMEN.
