Scripture — Colossians 3:13 “As the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.”

READ
Read the verse slowly.

REFLECT
Is there someone you need to forgive? Is there forgiveness you need to receive?

RESPOND
Bring that relationship before God.

REST
Release your right to hold onto the offense.

PRAYER
Jesus, thank You for forgiving me. Give me the strength to extend that same forgiveness to others. Amen.

There is no need to rush through these four steps.

Some days you may spend ten minutes. Other days you may spend twenty. Some days the Scripture may feel powerful and personal. Other days it may seem quiet.

That's okay!

The goal isn't to finish the devotional.

The goal is to meet with God.
