Proverbs 17:19
He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.
What of Today’s Verse…
“It’s just a little harmless gossip.” The Wise Teacher reminds us that gossip is neither little nor harmless. Its consequences are huge and its damage horrible. Instead, it is much better to be a peacemaker and an offence-mender.
Let us Pray:
Father of Glory, I confess that I am often more a peace lover than a peacemaker. Give me the character not to repeat gossip, but instead have the wisdom and strength to be an offence-mender. Through the Prince of Peace I pray. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
With acceptance and appreciation, I receive the blessings of God’s grace.
Grace is God’s love in action. As I recognize and appreciate this unconditional love, I become even more aware of it. I am filled with love. Continually blessed by the love of God, I am guided, healed, and prospered. Love moves through me and with me as grace that enhances my life and reaches out to touch the lives of others.
I relax, knowing there is never a barrier between God’s grace and me. Feeling accepted and accepting, I gratefully receive the blessings of grace. Knowing that God’s grace is mine calms and reassures me. Without my asking for it or deserving it, grace is given to me.
I enter a blessed awareness of God’s redeeming grace, and I accept it as my own. My appreciation of the power of love in divine grace grows.
