Embrace the Dawn of Forgiveness
Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.—Matthew 26:75 (NIV)
Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.”—Matthew 16:24 NIV
If you want to be a better person, follow Christ’s lead. Be kind and loving to friends and foes alike, forgive those who have hurt you, be of service to others—help the poor, volunteer at a charity—do good deeds humbly and quietly.
Dear Lord, I am ready to serve. Guide me to where I am needed.
