Reconciliation



Bible verses of the day:

"And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!” For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ." - 2 Corinthians 5:18-21

Gratitudes:

1. I'm grateful for the opportunity for reconciliation.

2. I'm grateful God loves me despite all my errors in life.

3. I'm grateful to have the yarn to start my book blanket.


Plan for the day:

1. Prayer. ✓

2. Bible reading. ✓

3. Booktube. ✓

4. Reading. ✓

Quote of the day:

"Forgiving and being reconciled to our enemies or our loved ones are not about pretending that things are other than they are. It is not about patting one another on the back and turning a blind eye to the wrong. True reconciliation exposes the awfulness, the abuse, the hurt, the truth. It could even sometimes make things worse. It is a risky undertaking but in the end it is worthwhile, because in the end only an honest confrontation with reality can bring real healing. Superficial reconciliation can bring only superficial healing."
― Desmond Tutu
