Practicing Honor, Day by Day 5

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32 (NIV)

Today choose to honor someone who has hurt you. This challenge may be more difficult, but you can do it.

Choose to forgive the offense that was set against you and then ask God to show you something in that person that is worthy of honor. Make an effort to speak a word of affirmation over him/her, send a text or email of encouragement or put a card in the mail. No one is perfect, we all make mistakes.

We have been forgiven much, so we must forgive!

Heavenly Father, thank You for forgiving me. I will never be able to repay You for the love You pour out on me. I know it honors You when I forgive others. Today I choose to forgive _________________ for _________________________. I also choose to see the good in _______________ and ask You to give me courage to speak encouragement over ______________________. I do this with no expectation of his/her response. I do this because it honors You.
