Blessed: Forgiving and Being Forgiven

Day Twenty-Four:


Luke 6:37
A rose means "I love you," a rose with thorns means "I am angry with you." Meeting people is like handing out roses based on our feelings and actions toward that person.
Fragrances attract people. Fragrances can be found in friends with gentleness and peace and a genuine love for others. This is the person we are called to be.
Thorns repel people. Thorns can be people who are ill tempered, critical, and not willing to forgive. These open doors to suns that are meant to pull people apart, such as grudges.
God brings peace of forgiveness to our prickly lives. Forgive those who have hurt us in the past because God has forgiven you.
