Unfailing love and faithfulness make atonement for sin. By fearing the Lord, people avoid evil. When people's lives please the Lord, even their enemies are at peace with them.
Lord, You have been so loving and generous to me. Help me to show that same love to others. I want to be faithful to You, but I fail and sin in so many ways. Thank You for the forgiveness that comes through your unfailing love and faithfulness given to me through Jesus.
