Snowflakes seem inert, especially
as they float down to the ground, however, each year many lives are destroyed
by avalanches, collapsing roofs and a myriad of other heavy snow accidents. In
like manner, petty offenses, small annoyances and little irritations can
accumulate and become deadly for our souls. Unforgiveness rarely begins as a
single event; instead, it creeps in slowly and piles up. Our pathway to safety is
to close each day with forgiveness for other. Lord of Forgiveness and Mercy,
break the chains of unforgiveness within me and fill me with Your love.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
