READ
Ephesians 4:31-32
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.
Colossians 3:12-13
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.

REFLECT
All humans are created in the image of God, and therefore deserving of dignity. We should offer grace to each other; thinking before speaking, forgiving before seeking revenge, being humble before being proud. We are to be kind to each other.

PRAY
"And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one."
Holy Spirit, help me guard my heart against the evil one. Send your grace to me. Fortify me against the temptations that take me away from your kindness. Holy Spirit, give me strength to recognize my self-righteousness and to turn from selfish desires that tear down my relationship with you and the people in my life.
