Today's daily devotion

Proof of God’s Love

Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”—Luke 23:34 NIV

Even as Jesus faced unbearable suffering, He focused His prayers on the people hurting Him. Instead of calling out for wrath and destruction, Jesus called for mercy. His compassionate prayer amidst torture is proof of God’s absolute love for each one of us.

Lord Jesus, thank You for all that you endured on the cross for me. Every moment of every day, I grow a deeper understanding of the depth of Your love.
