The Light of Compassion
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.—Matthew 5:17 (NIV)
Put on the new self—created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.—Ephesians 4:24 (TLB)
Sometimes a burst of spiritual growth happens overnight. But most times, it is a gradual process that takes patience and dedication. Don’t be discouraged if you feel like your faith has hit a stumbling block. Maybe you are struggling with doubt, or having trouble committing to a prayer time. Relax, God isn’t in a hurry.
Heavenly Father, help me to be patient with my faith and to forgive myself when I fall. I will always come back to You for comfort, encouragement and peace.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.—James 1:17 (NIV)
