As we have taken in the glory and grace of God we must be quick to allow that same grace to flow out of us even to the people who have wronged us deeply. In doing this we will be able to live together in unity as the children of God.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I thank you that you know my needs. That you fill me with grace help me now Father to show that same grace to all I encounter, giving back what I have been given. In the name of Jesus Christ my lord. Amen.
