Reflection
Look back over the week and ask where grace most challenged your normal reactions. What changed when you remembered “we too,” slowed down before responding, or invited the Holy Spirit to shape your tone? As you gather with the church this weekend, remember that we are a community formed by mercy, not by moral superiority. Ask God to make your church a place where truth is clear, grace is tangible, and people can see the renewing character of Jesus.
Weekend Prayer
God our Savior, thank You for the mercy that rescued me and the Spirit who continues renewing me. Make me truthful without cruelty, courageous without contempt, and gentle without fear. As our church gathers, let the grace we proclaim become the grace people experience through us. Amen.
