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)
The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.—LAMENTATIONS 3:22–23 NLT
Did you have a rough day yesterday?
Sometimes it feels like we as caregivers have more than our share of things that go wrong. Often we just don’t handle those problems the way we wish we would. Then more doubt and concern loom on our horizon.
But this is a new day, full of grace and promise. One day is separated from another by night, and with the morning light comes a renewal of God’s grace and strength to carry on. We might use all our human resources—all our grace, our strength, our patience, our ability—in a single day. But don’t worry. The Lord is faithful, and He’ll give us a whole new supply of every good thing for the new day.
Before this day even began, God knew what we would face, what we would need to get through—and He provided for that. Drawing on His assets—His grace, His faithfulness, His gifts for us—we’ll have plenty of strength.
As we trust and praise God, we are able to draw on all His blessings for today—and all the days to come.
Thank You, Lord, that Your mercies are new every morning. I thank You for providing me with all I will need for this day. Please remind me to rely on You.

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)
