Daniel 9:4-10; Psalm 79; Luke 6:36-38

A blueprint for living

It’s all too easy, when we are upset and hurt, to react in the heat of the moment. When we take a breath before reacting we are more likely to respond from a compassionate place; after all none of us are without sin and we are all in need of forgiveness – the forgiveness of God and the forgiveness of one another. When we show forgiveness and a generosity of spirit we are abundantly blessed by a merciful and gracious God. Be compassionate as your Father is compassionate.
