Today's reading from the LEC Family Advent Devotional is Ephesians 4:32 -- Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
I'm going to make this simple today...our ability to forgive others is dependent on forgiving ourselves. If we haven't forgiven ourselves, we can't be kind and compassionate to one another and forgiving. We can't give what we don't possess. We must truly believe that God has already forgiven us through Jesus Christ's sacrifice upon the cross.
Today's Advent Photo of the Day
#kindness #pictureadvent
This is a picture of the Papal Cross in Phoenix Park in Dublin, Ireland. I've chosen this picture to represent kindness because without the forgiveness that we were given on the cross through Jesus' death and resurrection, we can not be kind, compassionate, and forgiving of those who have hurt us.
