Reflection and Renewal: God Never Gives Up On Us (based on Matthew 18:21-22)


Loving God, you never give up on us. Even though we fail, withhold love, and wound others - you love and forgive us. Even though we judge, withhold compassion, and neglect others - you love and forgive us.

In the same way, help us to forgive ourselves for when we’ve been less-than-loving to ourselves and to  others. Also help us to forgive others who have been less than loving to us.

May your all-encompassing love shine through in all that we do. Restore our souls as you make all things new again.

Amen.
