Since God chose you…

“Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.”

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:12-13‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Heavenly Father, we thank you for our Mothers, who gave us Life, Love, and Purpose.   

Father, when You place us in the presence of other people, we have a chance to lead by example, Your example.  Father give us  a heart of compassion and kindness so we can reach out to other people with Your love.  Grace us with patience and gentleness so we can reflect Your tenderness.  Humble us before men so You are exalted.  Father, when our pride or agenda gets in the way of expressing You and Your feelings towards mankind, please correct us.  Convict our spirt so we can repent.  Father with You as our witness, may we lead with a spirit of forgiveness to model Your greatest gift of Love.  In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
