Have a look at yourself or anyone, and you will not be surprised to find that we make mistakes. Mistakes need correction, and correction has to be made with compassion. God’s mercy always forgives, for He understands our limitedness. Paul writes and reminds us of our limitedness so that we can forgive ourselves and others: “As it is written: ‘There is no one righteous, not even one.’” (Rom 3:10). May we accept out limited nature and receive grace and share it with others who are most in need.

Abba, Thank You for forgiving us as we are sinners who receive salvation through Your Son’s sacrifice. Let Your Spirit make us praise Your grace more and more, In Jesus’ Most Compassionate Name, Amen.
