The Gift of Forgiveness
Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.—Colossians 3:13 (NIV)
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.—Colossians 3:23 (NIV)
Many people make a big mistake by dreading their work and thinking of it as a period of time they must suffer through. The truth is, work is a blessing. No matter what job you hold, your contribution is necessary and worthwhile. Work can be a source of satisfaction and strength…when you let it.
Dear Lord, help me to recognize the power of work—and to see my job as the blessing it really is.

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.—Colossians 3:13 (NIV)

For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.—Psalm 91:11 (NIV)

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.—Romans 5:8 (NIV)
