Reflect
Have you ever thought that there are parts of you that God despises or that prevent you from entering more closely into His presence?
Pray
Loving God,
You are the one
who knitted us together
in the womb,
the Shepherd
who abandons the ninety-nine
in order to search of the lost one.
You came to redeem everything,
leaving Yourself vulnerable
on the cross to prove that love.
Show Yourself to me now,
proving that you
have come to redeem
every last part of us,
and that nothing about
the way You created us
is unloved by You.
Act
Find a way to embrace something about a coworker, family member, or friend that would typically frustrate you. Offer it up as an act of love to God.
