Week 1 Focus: Growing in Love toward Others
Day 5: "Graceful Fingers"
Day 5 Scripture:
Galatians 6:1 AMPC
BRETHREN, IF any person is overtaken in misconduct or sin of any sort, you who are spiritual [who are responsive to and controlled by the Spirit] should set him right and restore and reinstate him, without any sense of superiority and with all gentleness, keeping an attentive eye on yourself, lest you should be tempted also.
Confession:
I am developed in the fruit of God's Spirit.​
People get the overflow of my relationship with God! When I see people, I am genuinely the embodiment of love to them. I am patient and do not make people feel unimportant. Kindness is my natural response. I do not envy anyone, nor am I jealous of anything anyone has. What God has for me is for me and I am sincerely elated for others' successes and blessings. I live selflessly... always seeking to bless others above myself. I always tell the truth. I run to truth and away from gossip, rumors and lies. I choose not to be easily angered and I release any angry emotions to God before the end of the day. I am quick to forgive and I only allow my mind to meditate on good thoughts. God has filled me with hope, renewed my dreams and caused me to believe beyond what I see. I have enduring faith and I will see the manifestation of God's Goodness in my life because I willingly and wholeheartedly obey Him, in Jesus' name.
Day 5
PRAYER
Father,
Help me to see others through the eyes of Grace. I find in my human nature a desire to bring accusation to those who are wrong... especially if they have wronged me or someone I love; but I see in Your Word a focus on forgiveness and restoration. I confess that this is neither natural nor easy for me. Am I letting others off the hook easily without answering for the wrong they have done? Help me to trust Your process! Help me to trust that You are the Judge and that You hold all the cards in Your hands. Help me to remember that You separate what needs to be separated (Selah). Give me Grace to pull my finger back.
Fill me with compassion and help me to place a loving arm around those who need restoration.
Help me to remember all that I have been given Grace for and all the Grace I still need, in Jesus' name.
