Today Is Global Forgiveness Day!
CECA (Christian Embassy of Christ’s Ambassadors) established a National Forgiveness Day in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, in 1994. The organization later changed the name to Global Forgiveness Day to reflect its broader aim of promoting forgiveness worldwide.

“Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.” -Ephesians 4:31-32 [NLT]

A Time to Think… 
“Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness.” -Marianne Williamson 

A Time to Act…
On this day of forgiveness, make it a daily day! There are so many who are hurting, wounded and needed the gift of God’s forgiveness. Share it with them. And forgive yourself as well. There isn’t a day when forgiveness is not needed so share, care, and love one another.

A Time to Pray…
O Lord, I thank You for the power of forgiveness, and I choose to forgive everyone who has hurt me. Help me set free and release those who have hurt me and help me to bless them. Help me walk in righteousness, peace, and joy, demonstrating Your life here on earth. May I always choose to be kind and compassionate, forgiving others, just as You forgave me. In your holy name I pray, AMEN.
