Colossians 3:12-13 (NLT)

12 Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. 13 Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.

Ephesians 4:31-32 (NLT)

31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. 32 Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.

Have you ever felt the weight of bitterness, rage and anger? It's exhausting. But you don’t have to live with that weight. In fact, we are commanded not to. We are commanded to be tenderhearted.

Q: Have you clothed yourself with mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience?

Q: Where do you need to show more mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience in your relationship?

Q: How can you set an example of mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience?

"Give us today our daily bread."

Father, I trust in you, I know that you will provide all I need."
