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)
When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.”—Judges 6:12 (NIV)
IN TODAY’S VERSE, when the angel of the Lord finds Gideon afraid, he tells him, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.” When you are afraid, and like Gideon, you don’t feel especially brave, boost your confidence by repeating, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.”
Heavenly Father when I am worried, fill me with courage, help me to believe I am a “mighty warrior.”

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)
