Scripture: Colossians 3:13 (KJV)
“Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.”
Empowering Devotion:
One of the most tender aspects of restoration is the healing of broken relationships. God not only desires to restore our relationship with Him but also with others. Lent invites us into a deeper practice of grace—extending forgiveness, seeking reconciliation, and walking in love.
Holding onto offense, bitterness, or unresolved conflict hinders spiritual growth and disturbs our peace. Yet, when we choose to forgive—just as Christ forgave us—we open the door for restoration to flow. Forgiveness is not always easy, but it is necessary. It is not a denial of the pain, but a declaration that we will not let the pain define us.
Are there relationships in your life that need to be mended? Are there apologies you need to give or forgiveness you need to release? Restoration begins with humility, prayer, and a heart yielded to God’s grace.
Today, ask the Lord to help you restore what has been broken. Let the love of Christ flow through you to heal, to unite, and to rebuild. Relationships restored by grace glorify the God who first reconciled us to Himself.
Inspiring Prayer:
Father, I thank You because I know You hear me. Let Your will be done in every relationship connected to my life. Heal what is broken, mend what has been torn, and bring restoration through the power of Your love.
Give me the grace to forgive those who have wronged me, and the humility to ask for forgiveness where I have caused pain. Help me to walk in peace, unity, and love.
Thank You for restoring my heart and teaching me how to love like You love. I commit every relationship into Your hands. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
