Scripture reading
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
–Matthew 28:20
Thought of the Day
After the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln was asked how he would react to and treat the Southerners returning to the nation. The great president replied, I will treat them as if they had never been away.”
These are awesome words of forgiveness and love and compassion. Sometimes we find ourselves “away” and in need of returning to our Father in Heaven. Thank goodness that we have a God who treats us as if we had never been away. That is the good news!
Prayer
Lord, Thanks for loving me when I need Your loving the very most. Amen.
