"For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit,"
- 1 Peter 3:18 (ESV)
Thank you father for coming to us in the flesh. Thank for you dying on the cross to take our place so our sins may be forgiven. But most of all, thank you for giving us a perfect example of holiness. Thank you that we have record of Christ's life and walk with you so we can strive to attain a small fraction of that holiness here in this life. Thank you that we may be seeking after your attributes! I know that I am not perfect, nor will I ever be until I am whole and one with you in heaven, but I pray that you would be showing me how to be compassionate. I know that is not one of my strong points and you are revealing to me how important compassion is to live in fellowship with believers. Lord, may I seek to listen and understand those who are hurting, just as I have been given the wonderful gift of having people listen to me! May I be a living example of your love, with one aspect being compassion!
Thank you for creating today so that I can seek to know you more and walk in your ways! May I not be easily distracted by the ways of the world!
In Christ's merciful name, Amen!
