Serve God with a Grateful Heart
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.—Colossians 3:23 (NIV)

Time to Forgive
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving.—Ephesians 4:31–32 (NIV)
The heavy weight of anger, resentment and regret can sap your strength and leave you feeling exhausted. Ask for God’s help to release negative feelings and let go of the past. Recognize the important life lessons you have learned from complicated relationships and challenging situations—and look to the future with courage.
Sometimes, Lord, forgiveness is hard for me. Remind me how self-destructive it is to hold grudges.
