Peace That Melts Harshness

Too many of us carry a harsh picture of God and believe He looks for ways to be displeased with us. Sometimes we review our actions and condemn ourselves and think that God also condemns us. We seldom see the kindness and tenderness of God as He comes alongside us.

God views our life situations with a caring heart. He welcomes us to come to Him and find peace when we are hurting, confused, or feeling threatened. He encourages us to bring painful memories out of the darkness of our souls and into the light of His healing presence so we can be set free from their power over us.

Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other’s faults and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. (Colossians 3:12-14 NLT)
Today is a good day to ask God to help us let go of harshness and embrace the gentleness of spirit that allows our hearts and minds to be at peace.
Prayer: Loving God, Help me to receive Your love and healing so I can let go of harshness and embrace gentleness. I want to live in perfect harmony in my relationship with You and with others. Amen
