Divine favor meeting our deepest needs without regard for what we deserve is the bedrock of our relationship with God. Every morning we wake up, we are wrapped in fresh compassion from a Father who chose redemption over condemnation. This profound grace is the very thing we are called to extend to those who have wronged us. As you receive His tender-heartedness, allow it to overflow into a life of forgiveness and peace.

Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul."
