Leviticus 19:18
Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but you shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.
What of Today’s Verse…
Hanging on to bitterness and keeping alive grudges is consuming work. It leaves little energy for blessing others, praising God, or enjoying life. The only way to get over these things is to actively love (i.e., serve them) others in ways that bless their lives. If we can’t do this because it’s good and the right thing to do, we do it because we know God!
Let us Pray:
Father of light, love and mercy, please remove from my heart any cynicism or delight in seeing others around me fall. Instead, help me to be a rescuer rather than a neglecter. I want your grace to be seen in my friendships. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.’
Words of Wisdom
He who knows me as his own divine Self breaks through the belief that he is the body and is not reborn as a separate creature. Such a one is united with me. Delivered from selfish attachment, fear, and anger, filled with me, surrendering themselves to me, purified in the fire of my being, many have reached the state of unity in me.
