2 Peter 1:4
He has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.
What of Today’s Verse…
God made us to be like him in character and holiness. We are called to participate in the divine nature and are assured that we will be made ready when Jesus comes again. His promise is sure if we will commit to follow him wholeheartedly!
Let us Pray:
Almighty God, my Everlasting Fortress, thank you for giving me your great promises. I long to know you more fully and be able to see your face today just as I believe I will at the day of your return. Please protect me and my heart from corruption. In all love and appreciation I pray in the name of Jesus, the One who made me yours. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
Forgive
I draw on God’s love within to forgive.
Forgiveness is an act of love. As I forgive, I release negative energy that may manifest as resentment or anger. I open the way for something positive to happen. If I feel wronged or annoyed, I release the impulse to judge. The lines of communication remain open, and understanding flows freely. Relationships with family, friends and colleagues flourish when I act with compassion and easily forgive. I relate to others in harmonious ways.
I exercise the same forgiving attitude toward myself. If I have erred, I learn from it and move on. I draw from the reservoir of God’s love within me to give and receive forgiveness.
“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;”–Luke 6:37
