God is holy, righteous, and just. As important as these qualities are, he reveals them within his compassion, graciousness, and patience with overflowing mercy and love. We can obey, worship, and show reverent respect to God. We can also love, appreciate, and adore our Father in heaven for his loving grace! Then, we can lean into his challenge to reflect his righteous character, gracious compassion, and faithful lovingkindness! We can be "compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love," like our Father!
My Prayer...

Please help me display each of these virtues you regularly share with me to others more perfectly. In the name of the Lord Jesus, I ask for your help to reflect your nature to those who need to see your love and grace. Amen.
